Key to species of Chidaea Emeljanov View in CoL View at ENA
Notes. This key is mainly based on male specimens, depending on the species, females can only be identified to a certain level. Numerous females were found in material located at the following collections (AMS, ANIC, ASCU, BPBM, QDPI, QM and SAMA) that based on morphological characters alone could not be identified to species level. Chidaea sidnicus is also excluded from the key as the only known specimen is a female.
