KEY TO LYCES SPECIES GROUPS

1.

– Male vesica short and wide (figs. 321B, 321G, 322C), densely covered with robust, spinelike cornuti; female CB wide at base (figs. 321C, 321H, 322E), with a large, laterally compressed dorsal appendix; attachment of DS not forming a pigtail; DB relatively long, membranous; FW and HW (pls. 29, 30) never with longitudinal stripes.............. 2 Male vesica long and narrow (figs. 323B, G; 324B, G; 325C, H), often curling dorsally, sparsely covered with fine spinelike cornuti, frequently with a single, enlarged distal cornutus ; CB narrow at base, sclerotized, forming a vaselike structure (figs. 323C, H; 324C, H; 325B, G), its inner surface spinose; attachment of DS forming a pigtail; DB short, sclerotized; FW and HW often with narrow longitudinal stripes (pls. 30, 31); wing length variable (FW length 5 12.5–23.0 mm)........................... Patula Group

2. Dorsum of uncus bearing a large, laterally compressed dorsal crest (figs. 321A, 322A); tegumen tall and wide; sclerotized portion of valval costa long; ventrolateral margin of female PA sclerotized (figs. 321C, 322E), often bladelike; transverse FW band narrow (pls. 29, 30), located immediately beyond distal margin of DC; rami of male antenna relatively long; wings variable in length (FW length 5 9.5–21.0 mm), often short.......................... Angulosa Group

– Dorsum of uncus simple (fig. 321F), without a dorsal crest; tegumen short and narrow; sclerotized portion of valval costa short; ventrolateral margin of PA membranous (fig. 321H); transverse FW band wide (pl. 30), located basal to distal margin of DC; rami of male antenna short; wings long (FW length 5 19.0–24.0 mm).............................
