Note.
See
Copley
et al.
(2009)
for genus diagnosis and descriptive details as well as a key to the species groups (females only) of the Holarctic and Californian clades of
Cybaeus
. See
Bennett
et al.
(2016)
for a revision of the Nearctic species of the Holarctic clade of
Cybaeus
.
Bennett (2005
,
2017
) provided keys to all Nearctic cybaeid genera. Males of
Cybaeus
species often are difficult to assign to particular species groups (see the Introduction in this paper for discussion of the nature of species groups of
Cybaeus
). When in doubt about the group affiliation of male specimens, explore the keys to the Holarctic clade species in the
tetricus
and
angustiarum
groups (
Bennett
et al.
2016
) or consider one of the five other Californian clade species groups (
aspenicolens
,
consocius
,
devius
,
septatus
, and
tardatus
) discussed by
Bennett (1991)
and Copley
et. al
(2009).
