Group G: Identification from male genitalia
1. Aedeagus simple
1a Aedagus with ~12 strong cornuti in the tunica and at its apex > 37.038 Coleophora lineolea 1b Sacculus with a distinct anterolateral projection > 37.036 Coleophora conyzae 1c Sacculus without an anterolateral projection > 37.037 Coleophora calycotomella |
In all other species in this group the aedeagus has 2 prongs
2. Sacculus with a distinct anterior projection, which is longer than its posterior projection or process
2a Lateral margin of sacculus "W"-shaped with anterior, middle and posterior projections and emarginations between these projections > 37.099 Coleophora striatipennella
Aedeagus with two long prongs one of which has a tooth at the apex and another ~⅓-½ from the apex |
3. Sacculus with a blunt, rounded, anterior projection and a longer, curved, posterior process
Medial end of transtilla recurves laterally in all these species
Medial end of transtilla recurves laterally in all these species
3a Aedeagus with two prongs without teeth near the apex, with a distinct spur arising from the basal half of one prong
> 37.097 Coleophora linosyridella |
3c . Aedeagus 2-pronged, one of which has a small apical tooth > 37.094 Coleophora ramosella
|
4c Aedeagus with two prongs without teeth near the apex or a basal spur
> 37.096 Coleophora gardesanella Posterior process curved medially (with a very small tooth at its base) |
5. Sacculus with a distinct long posterior process
5a Posterior process a narrow, posteriorly directed, straight, "finger", arising from the middle of the posterior border of the sacculus > 37.077 Coleophora lassella Sacculus with distinct anterolateral and posterolateral angles and a slightly crenulate lateral border; aedeagus with two long prongs both with a small apical tooth. |
5b Posterior process broad based, narrowing to the apex which curves medially, arising from lateral end of posterior border of sacculus
> 37.093 Coleophora peribenanderi Sacculus fairly rounded anterolaterally, without a distinct lateral border; aedeagus with two prongs, both of which narrow abruptly to sclerotised apical point. |
6. Sacculus with one or more short "teeth' at the posterolateral angle; aedeagus with 2 long prongs
6a Both prongs with a serrate dorsal margin > 37.070 Coleophora tamesis
6b Both prongs with a short subapical tooth > 37.089 Coleophora pappiferella
6c One prong broad-based, narrowing in apical ⅓ to an acute apex, other prong with a large subapical tooth > 37.081 Coleophora therinella
6d Dome-shaped postero-lateral projection of sacculus with an apical nipple; one prong with a large apical tooth > 37.098 Coleophora inulae
6e Tunica very short; 2 or 3 teeth at posterolateral angle of sacculus, succulus otherwise featureless > 37.072 Coleophora otidipennella
6b Both prongs with a short subapical tooth > 37.089 Coleophora pappiferella
6c One prong broad-based, narrowing in apical ⅓ to an acute apex, other prong with a large subapical tooth > 37.081 Coleophora therinella
6d Dome-shaped postero-lateral projection of sacculus with an apical nipple; one prong with a large apical tooth > 37.098 Coleophora inulae
6e Tunica very short; 2 or 3 teeth at posterolateral angle of sacculus, succulus otherwise featureless > 37.072 Coleophora otidipennella
