Key to puparia of species of Aleuroglandulus

1. Vasiform orifice inset almost twice its length from posterior margin of puparium; prothoracic glands indiscernible ( Fig 28 ) .................................. striatus Sampson & Drews

­ Vasiform orifice inset only by its own length or less from posterior margin of puparium ( Figs 29 , 36 ); prothoracic glands well­defined ( Fig 35, 37 ) or at least staining differentially......................................................................................................................2

2. Prothoracic glandular areas not well defined, but smoothly convex in unmounted specimens, and staining more readily than remaining cuticle when slide­mounted (Fig. 87). Leg bases each with a pronounced basal spine ( Fig. 31 ) ......................... inanis sp. nov.

­ Prothoracic glandular areas well defined ( Figs 35, 37 , 89), often pigmented brownish. Leg bases each with either a stout spine or a fine seta.................................................. 3

3. With glands absent from abdominal segment III (as in fig. 37), and also with only a fine seta at base of each leg .................................................................... magnus Russell

­ Glands usually present on abdominal segment III ( Fig. 35 ), but may be much reduced or absent. A stout spine present at base of each leg (as in fig. 31) .......... subtilis Bondar
