Key to Jilinga species of Pakistan (Ƌ)

1. Subgenital plate divided into two distinct lobes by deep lateral emargination ( Fig. 6D ); anal tube ventral processes with fused section longer than distal branches, branches with only small denticuli present ( Fig. 6C ); aedeagal shaft broad in posterior view, no more than three times longer than wide ( Fig. 6F )................................................. J. gopii

- Subgenital plate shallowly concave laterally, not divided into two distinct lobes ( Figs 3E , 5D ); anal tube ventral processes with fused section shorter than distal branches, branches with large teeth ( Figs 3B , 5B ); aedeagal shaft narrow in posterior view, more than four times longer than wide ( Figs 3G , 5G ).......................................................... 2

2. Dorsal connective less than twice as wide as distance between dorsal and ventral arms ( Fig. 3G ); anal tube appendage ventral branches with smaller teeth evenly distributed between pair of large teeth in posterior view ( Fig. 3B )...................................................................................................... J. neelumensis sp. nov.

- Dorsal connective more than twice as wide as distance between dorsal and ventral arms ( Fig. 5G ); anal tube appendage ventral branches with smaller teeth concentrated on large medial tooth ( Figs 5B, C )........................ J. truncata sp. nov.
