description: Table 3. Characters of Attaphila species and grouping of species. - Abbreviations and colours: ♂, ♀ in 1st column indicating whether a character is relevant to male or female sex or both. S + number = sternite, T + number = tergite,?? = unknown. Entries "type 1" and "type 2" for laterosternal shelf area mark species pairs with great similarity in this area (for details see species descriptions). Colours mark putative species groups: orange = Attaphila bergi group, blue = Attaphila fungicola group, both pale if assignment poorly supported, green = not assigned to a group. num. = numerous, med. = medium.
