Key to species of the genus Prionoglaris (adults only)
Note: Adults of P. lindbergi are not known (see Introduction).
1A Claws of each pretarsus clearly asymmetrical. Anterior claw with a long basal seta and an internal membranous vesicle situated in basal half of claw (Fig. 3B). Posterior claw simple but bearing a short basal tooth (Fig. 3C), preapical denticle usually absent, rarely present (Fig. 3C), sometimes minute. Sac-like proximal part of phallosome longer than half of total length of phallosome (Fig. 3A). Spermapore sclerite a thin and weakly sclerotized plate, spermathecal duct running straight through the sclerite (Fig. 3 K-L) ....................................................................... 2
1B Asymmetry of pretarsal claws less pronounced. Anterior claw with a long basal seta but lacking internal membranous vesicle (Fig. 2C). Posterior claw simple, lacking basal tooth and preapical denticle (Fig. 2D). Saclike proximal part of phallosome relatively short (Fig. 2 H-I), about half of total length of phallosome. Spermapore sclerite a thick and heavily sclerotized plate, spermathecal duct within the sclerite curved (Fig. 2 F-G) .................. ................................................................................................................................................... P. kapralovi sp. nov.
2A Dorso-lateral appendages of phallosome of about same width between base and broadly rounded apex (Fig. 3I) or only weakly narrowing towards apex (Fig. 3 E-H) ....................................................................................... P. stygia
2B Dorso-lateral appendages of phallosome digitiform, narrow throughout except for slightly broader basal one third (Fig. 3J)................................................................................................................................................ P. dactyloides Distribution of the genus Prionoglaris
Distributional data based on all known material, including nymphs, are here summarized. Only males and associated females and/or nymphs are assigned to one of the known species. Isolated females or nymphs are not assigned to a species (given as Prionoglaris spec.) or are tentatively assigned to a species (given as Prionoglaris cf. stygia and Prionoglaris cf. dactyloides). All “cf.-assignments” are based on plausibility due to the geographical position of the locality in comparison with the known distribution of male-based records.
