Key to Antoonops species

1 Eyes relatively large ( Fig. 5 E, F); male abdomen with a ventral depression and only a slight dorsal constriction ( Figs. 4 E, 7B); female external genitalia with small posterior element and elongated, indistinct anterior element ( Figs. 9 H, 17C).. A. kamieli

- Eyes small ( Fig. 11 D, E); male abdomen with a pronounced dorsal constriction ( Fig. 2A , C–E); female external genitalia dif- ferent............................................................................................... 2

2 Males (those of A. sarae unknown)...................................................................... 3

- Females............................................................................................ 6

3 Dorsal scutum without a white transverse band ( Fig. 2 D); carapace completely covered by microsculpture ( Fig. 2 D).................................................................................................... A. nebula

- Dorsal scutum with a white transverse band ( Fig. 2A , C, E, G); carapace smooth except for lowermost part ( Fig. 2A , C, E) 4

4 Ventral scutum elevated at the level of the sperm pore ( Fig. 2A )........................................ A. corbulo

- Ventral scutum without elevation ( Fig. 2 C, E).............................................................. 5

5 Carapace high, dome-shaped ( Fig. 2 C)......................................................... A. bouaflensis

- Carapace less high, less dome-shaped ( Fig. 2 E)........................................................ A. iita

6 Postepigastric scutum long, leaving less than 1/4 of abdomen length uncovered ( Fig. 10 E)..................... A. sarae

- Postepigastric scutum relatively short, leaving most of the ventral abdomen uncovered ( Fig. 3A )..................... 7

7 Dorsal scutum without a white transverse band; external genitalia as in Fig. 3 E, with a relatively large, posteriorly situated cop- ulatory opening............................................................................... A. nebula

- Dorsal scutum with a white transverse band ( Fig. 2 F); external genitalia different ( Fig. 3 B–D)....................... 8

8 External genitalia with a relatively large, oval copulatory opening ( Fig. 3 B)............................... A. corbulo

- External genitalia different ( Fig. 3 C, D).................................................................. 9

9 External genitalia relatively broad ( Fig. 3 C)..................................................... A. bouaflensis
