Key to the Palaearctic species groups of Botanophila View in CoL View at ENA (males).
1. Cercal plate extended in distal part into a long, undivided and narrow process, often reaching or even surpassing apices of surstyli, and without any submedian or lateral processes ( Figs. 6–9 View FIGURES 6 – 7. 6 View FIGURES 8 – 9. 8 ) .............................. .......................................................................................... latifrons View in CoL , varicolor View in CoL , askoldica View in CoL and salicis View in CoL -groups ..................................................................................................................(also B. cuspidata View in CoL and B. nupera View in CoL )
– Cercal plate not as above, distal margin either narrowly split (partite), or divided into two diverging processes, or with two or three short processes, or short and cordiform ..........................................................2
2. Cercal plate long and narrowly separated in distal part, forming two closely approximated halves of a more or less pointed cercal plate; no subcercal structure present ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 10 – 11. 10 ) .................... brunneilinea View in CoL -group
– Cercal plate not split in distal part into two closely approximated halves, or if so then a subcercal structure present, either hidden behind cercal plate or distinctly visible and bearing a median rod-like process...... 3
3. Cercal plate with a subcercal structure bearing a short or long rod-like median process ( Figs. 11–14 View FIGURES 10 – 11. 10 View FIGURES 12 – 13. 12 View FIGURES 14 – 15. 14 ) ....... .................................................................................... gnava View in CoL , cordifrons View in CoL , bompadrei and maculipes View in CoL -groups
– Cercal plate without subcercal structure...................................................................................................... 4
4. Cercal plate with 2 long submedian distal processes which reach almost to level of apices of surstyli, and are generally diverging; sternite 5 with separated tufts of setae ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 14 – 15. 14 ) ........................... seneciella View in CoL -group
– Cercal plate without two long diverging processes on distal margin .......................................................... 5
5. Pregonite with two expanded (foliate) setae; cercal plate large in relation to surstyli, which have truncate distal margins in lateral view ( Figs. 16, 16 View FIGURES 16, 16 a. 16 a)........................................................................ helviana View in CoL -group
– Pregonite with normal slender setae, or at most with slightly wide setae, cercal plate otherwise .............. 6
6. Cercal plate longer than width, with a bifurcate distal margin produced into two short blunt processes (further lateral marginal processes may be present) ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 17 – 18. 17 ) .................................................... depressa View in CoL -group
– Cercal plate either simple (cordifrom) or not longer than width, or with three processes on distal margin 7
7. Cercal plate with three processes on distal margin ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 17 – 18. 17 ) ..................................................... fugax View in CoL -group
– Cercal plate with two processes on distal margin, or none.......................................................................... 8
8. Cercal plate with two processes on distal margin (lateral or submedian) ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 21 – 22. 21 ) ............... dissecta View in CoL -group
– Cercal plate without processes on distal margin.......................................................................................... 9
9. Surstyli slightly or strongly concave on posterior margin in lateral view, and with a small subapical tooth on inner margin ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 19 – 20. 19 ) (except B. kenji View in CoL ) .......................................................................... biciliaris View in CoL -group
– Surstyli in lateral view not concave on posterior margin .......................................................................... 10
10. Surstyli bifurcate apically ( Fig. 21 View FIGURES 21 – 22. 21 ) .............................................................................................. okai View in CoL -group
– Surstyli simple (except B. cylindrica View in CoL which has a median tooth on inner margin) ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 19 – 20. 19 ) striolata View in CoL -group
