Family Laophontidae

Sexual dimorphism is highly developed in this family. Separate keys are given for males and females.

Caution: P2–P4 setation is variable in many species. Variation is known to occur between populations, within a population, between the sexes and even between the right and left members of a pair of legs in a single individual. While these keys take present knowledge of variation into account, its very existence means that any identification must be checked against a good description.
