Key to some species of female Pieza occurring in Brazil (based on female genitalia)

1 Common duct short with about ¼ length of proximal spermathecal duct to very short, almost indistinct; spermathecal reservoir elongate ( Figs 26 , 51 , 60 )............................................................................... 2

- Common duct long, almost as long as proximal spermathecal duct; spermathecal reservoir oval with papillate apex ( Fig. 9 )......................................................................................... P. ankh sp. nov.

2 Genital fork without hyaline plate; spermathecal reservoir without glandular trichomes ( Figs 26 , 51 )................... 3
