... kowalskii sp. nov. Shear & Benoit, 1974 in the long and sinuous embolus, with a characteristic trajectory (Shear & Benoit 1974: fig. 23). It differs from the latter and from all the remaining species of the genus by the reduced and spoon-shaped tegular apophysis and by the reduced and finger-shaped oecobiidae embolic apophysis (Figs 1A-C, 5A-B). This species can also be recognized by the convoluted trajectory of the sperm duct ( Fig. 1A-C). Females differ from all ...

... The males of Paroecobius skipper differ from other species of the genus by the Oecobiidae tegular apophysis curved, hook-shaped ( Fig. 2A-C) and by a prominent retrolateral keel of the tegulum (Fig. 2C). Females of P. skipper resembles P. rico sp.nov. in the sclerotized epigynal hood (Fig. 2D), but in P. skipper the hood is short. The latter also differs from all species of the genus by the presence of an anterior groove on the epigynum (Fig. 2E) and by the position of the ...
