Summary: | Key to females of North American species of Trachytes The key is based on the illustrations and descriptions of Błoszyk & Szymkowiak (1996), Huţu (2000), Koch (1841), Trägårdh (1910) and WiŠniewski & Hirschmann (1994). Two species of North American Trachytes are known only from males ( T . krantzi Huţu, 2000 and T . lindquisti Huţu, 2000), and are not included in the key. 1. Vertex with wide and ribbed lateral sections................................................................. 2 - Vertex without wide and ribbed lateral sections.............................................................. 5 2. Inguinal shield free, not fused to ventral shield.............................................................. 3 - Inguinal shield fused to ventral shield...................................................................... 4 3. Surface of genital shield smooth, setae X 4 placed on ventral shield....................... T . aegrota (C. L. Koch, 1841) - Genital shield with reticulate sculptural pattern, setae X 4 situated on small platelets in membranous cuticle................................................................................ T . kaliszewskii Błoszyk & Szymkowiak, 1996 4. Genital shield linguliform, apical part wider than basal part, proportion of apical and basal parts of genital shield 1.3–1.5: 1. 5 - Genital shield axe-shaped, apical part narrower than basal part (3: 1)......................... T . canadiensis Huţu, 2000 5. Pygidial shield rhomboid; surface of genital shield smooth............................... T . aegrotasimilis Huţu, 2000 - Pygidial shield oval; surface of genital shield reticulate....................................... T . californica sp. nov. 6. Genital shield linguliform, anterolateral angles of genital shield rounded......................................... 7 - Genital shield axe-shaped, anterolateral angles of genital shield pointed........................................... 8 7. Ventral shield separated from inguinal and sternal shields; surface of genital shield ornamented by irregular pits............................................................................. T . balazyi WiŠniewski & Hirschmann, 1994 - Ventral shield fused with inguinal and sternal shields; surface of genital shield smooth............ T . marilynae Huţu, 2000 8. Inguinal shield fused to ventral shield; apical part of genital shield relatively wide (apical: basal = 1:1.3– 2).............. 9 - Inguinal shield separated from ventral shield; apical part of genital shield narrow (apical: basal = 1: 3)....... T . axe sp. nov. 9. Sternal shield fused to inguinal and ventral shields; ventral and dorsal idiosoma ornamented by irregular pits.............................................................................................. T . minima Trägårdh, 1910 - Sternal shield separated from inguinal and ventral shield; surface of ventral and dorsal idiosoma without irregular pits..........................................................................................
