description: Key to the species of Pseudolorryia Kaźmierski
1. Palptarsus eupathidium (p’ζ) simple, rod- or thumb-like, rounded distally; seta d on palptarsus simple, not forked; ornamentation variable in type .................................................................................... 2
- Palptarsus eupathidium (p’ζ) not simple, with goblet-shape or “T”-shape tip, or cleft distally; seta d forked; ornamentation type “ Tydeus ”............................................................................................ 5
2. Dorsum of opisthosoma reticulated........................................................................ 3
- Dorsum of opisthosoma striated..........................................................................4
3. “Mountains-shaped” reticulation grouped into regular regions; dorsal idiosomal setae “rough” only............................................................................................. .. P. edwardbakeri Kaźmierski, 1989
- Dorsal reticulation flat; no separate regions; dorsal setae with small, but distinct serration...... P. taurica (Kuznetzov, 1971)
4. Cheliceral stilettos (ca 23) longer than palptarsus (ca 18), but shorter than combined length of palptarsus and its rod-like terminal eupathidium (18+14); striation type “ Paralorryia ”; dorsal idiosomal setae sickle-like, serrate, subequal in length...................................................................................... P. nikitensis (Livshitz, 1973)
- Cheliceral stilettos not shorter than 40, i.e. significantly longer than combined length of palptarsus and its thumb-like terminal eupathidium (14+6); striation type “ Tydeus ”; dorsal idiosomal setae pointed, smooth; setae ps1 and especially h2 distinctly longer than other setae.................................................... P. striata (Momen & Lundqvist, 1996)
5. Reticulation on aspidosoma forming area (ro)(bo)....................... P. andreae (Ueckermann & Smith Meyer, 1979)
- Reticulation absent.................................................................................... 6
6. Cheliceral stilettos distinctly longer than combined length of palptarsus and its terminal eupathidium; all dorsal idiosomal setae sharpointed...................................................................................... 7
- Cheliceral stilettos distinctly shorter than combined length of palptarsus and its terminal eupathidium; at least some dorsal idiosomal setae pointed.................................................................................9
7. Opisthosomal dorsal setae extremely strongly spined, with a few branches on bases; dorsal striae strong, with rectangular tubercles........................................................................ P. spinea (Livshitz, 1973)
- All dorsal idiosomal setae “rough” only, without distinct serration; dorsal striae subtle, close, with small rods or “I”-shaped costulae.............................................................................................8
8. Tectal setae on tarsus I inserted in tubercle-like convexities; empodial hooks absent (only a short thorn at base of empodium); no “swirls” in dorsal ornament; lyrifissure ia lies closer to c2 than c1 ............................ P. starri (Baker, 1944)
- No tubercle-like tectal convexities; empodial hooks well developed, curved; a pair of “swirls” occur between setae c1 and c2 on both sides; lyrifissures ia lie in range of “swirls”, closer to c1 than to c2 ............... .. P. nicaraguensis (Baker, 1970)
9. Dorsal idiosomal setae club-like and nude; cheliceral stilettos shorter than palptarsus; ventral striation between metasternal setae longitudinal.................................................................................... 10
- Dorsal idiosomal setae not club-like, distinctly serrated; cheliceral stilettos as long as palptarsus; ventral striation between metasternal setae transverse or form “V” pattern............................................................ 11
10. Dorsal striae between d1 transverse; empodial claws present........................... .. P. fustis (Ueckermann, 1988)
- Dorsal striae between d1 longitudinal; empodial claws absent............... P. pseudofustis (Theron & Ueckermann, 2012)
11. Dorsal setae extremely variable in length; setae ro and f1 short, pointed; setae c1 and d1 longer, stick-like; setae la, ex, c2, e1 and f2 very long (longer than bothridial setae), club-like; setae h1 short, club-like; setae h2 and ps1 very short, broadly clublike, situated ventrally and very closely to each other; solenidion ωI short; empodial hooks (om) very small, near empodial base; ventral situation transverse between metasternal setae............................. P. turrialbensis (Baker, 1970)
- Dorsal setae subequal in length, distinctly shorter than bothridial setae; aspidosomal setae, as well as setae c lanceolate, curved and almost sharp; setae d1 and e1 lanceolate, but rounded distally; setae f spatulate; setae h and ps1 broader and spatulate distally (h2 situated dorsally, ps1 situated terminally); solenidion ωI long; empodial hooks thick and strong; ventral situation “V”- shaped between metasternal setae...................................................... P. mumai (Baker, 1970)
