description: Key to larvae of the Kimminsula -complex
1(10) Each of two lamellae of each tergalius with numerous slender processes (Figs 43–48, 85–90, 130–136, 148–150, 641–663)..................................................................................................... 2
2(3) Only posterior margin of each lamella with processes (Figs 641–663)............... Hubbardula heterolepida gen. sp. n.
3(2) Both margins of each lamella with processes (Figs 43–48, 85–90, 130–137, 148–150)............................... 4
4(7) Labrum as wide as clypeus (Figs 7, 72). Patella-tibial suture absent on foreleg, present on middle and hind legs, crosses inner side of tibia (Figs 30–34). 6 pairs of tergalii (tergalii VII lost) (Figs 43–48, 85–90). (Ghatula gen. n.).................. 5
5(6) Abdominal terga VIII and IX each with pair of dark brown maculae (Figs 68–69). On forefemur, inner-anterior flange larger than inner-posterior flange (Fig. 78)............................................... Ghatula quadrimaculata sp. n.
6(5) Abdominal terga without contrasting maculae (Fig. 15). On forefemur, inner-anterior flange smaller than inner-posterior flange (Fig. 27)......................................................................... Ghatula rufa gen. sp. n.
7(4) Labrum normally much wider than clypeus (Fig. 96) (not much wider in selected individuals). Patella-tibial suture equally developed on all legs, not crossing inner side of tibia (Figs 124–128). 7 pairs of tergalii (Figs 130–136) (Petersula) (larva of P. nathani unknown)..................................................................................... 8
8(9) Posterolateral spines of uromere VIII longer than spines of uromere IX (Fig. 94)........... Petersula heptagenoides sp. n.
9(8) Posterolateral spines of uromere VIII shorter than spines of uromere IX (Fig. 196)................ Petersula courtallensis
10(1) Each of two lamellae of each tergalius with one slender process at apex, without additional slender processes (Figs 262–268, 348–361, 399–405, 507–527, 587–600)................................................................... 11
11(12) Each of two lamellae of each tergalius without projections by sides of apical process (Figs 262–268)... Ceylonula femoralis
12(11) Each of two lamellae of each tergalius wit two projections by sides of apical process, so that apical process is inserted in incision between them (Figs 348–361, 399–405, 507–527, 587–600) (Kimminsula) form intermediate between K. taprobanes and K. fasciata is not included in this key).................................................................... 13
13(14) Labrum relatively wide and short (Figs 552–553). Stout setae on femora small and blunt (Figs 569–673). Inner side of foretibia without stout pointed setae (with only a few such setae at apex) (Figs 574–575)............... Kimminsula latifolia sp. n.
14(13) Labrum narrower and shorter (Figs 322, 389, 444, 478). Stout setae on femora longer (Fig. 336–338, 395, 494–495). Inner side of foretibia with stout pointed setae (Figs 339, 499)......................................................... 15
15(16) Outer margins of femora not bordered with brown (Figs 392–394). Each abdominal tergum II–VIII with unpaired median blank bordered with dark area in front but not behind (Fig. 390) (this blank can be bordered from behind with dark area of hypodermal coloration)........................................................................ Kimminsula taprobanes
16(15) At least outer margin of fore- and middle femora bordered with dark brown (both cuticular and hypodermal colorations) (Figs 336–338, 367, 496–498). If contrasting pigmented areas and blanks expressed on cuticle of abdominal terga, tergum has paired or unpaired median blank bordered from behind (Figs 329–331, 480)........................................... 17
17(18) Tibia with hypodermal coloration not darker than hypodermal coloration of femur (Fig. 367). Cuticle of clypeus usually with pair of contrasting blanks (Fig. 322)...................................................... Kimminsula fasciata
