Key to species and subspecies of Neotyphloceras

1. Frontal tubercle present; front six times longer than high; first frontal row with eight or nine setae; chaetotaxy of dorsal margin of hindtibia 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2; inner side of hind femur with two or three subventral setae; apical seta of movable process of clasper slightly pigmented; fixed process with three or four marginal setae, without submarginal setae; seventh sternum of female with long shallow sinus................................................................. N. rosenbergi

- Frontal tubercle absent; front four times longer than high; first frontal row with six or seven setae; chaetotaxy of dorsal margin of hindtibia 2, 2, 1-2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2; inner side of hind femur with five to seven subventral setae; apical seta of movable process of clasper dark; fixed process with eight to ten marginal setae, and three or four submarginal setae; seventh sternum of female lacking sinus.................................................................................. 2

2. Fixed process of clasper with apex almost straight; distal arm of sternum IX with a projection, dorsal margin markedly concave and bearing six ventral setae, the first seta wider and strongly pigmented; crochet with angular projection on proximal margin and with distal margin almost straight; females with distal margin of sternum VII rounded ( N. crassispina )............. 3

- Fixed process of clasper with apex sharply turned up; distal arm of sternum IX with projection, with dorsal margin slightly concave and bearing five ventral, curved, spine-like setae, the first seta located in the center above the others; crochet with rounded projection on proximal margin and distal margin strongly convex; females with distal margin of sternum VII almost straight............................................................................ N. chilensis stat. nov.

3. Most distal seta of the fixed process of the clasper at its tip........................................ N. c. crassispina

- Most distal seta of the fixed process of the clasper proximal to its tip................................... N. c. hemisus
