Indentification keys for the extra-holartic species On the basis of the number of genital setae the here to fore known oripodida species might be divided into four groups: I. Genital plates with four pairs of setae. ; II. Genital plates with three pairs of setae. III. Genital plates with two pairs of setae. IV. Genital plates with one pair of setae. Group I. Aggenital setae absent. Notogaster with broad protruding humeral appendage covering bothridium and sensillus. L.: 216 jam. (Figs 1-2). - Cuba Pteroripoda minutissima Balogh et Mahunka, 1974 Aggenital setae present. Notogaster without broad, protruding humeral appendage covering bothridium and sensillus. Interlamellar setae fusiform or stick-shaped with blunt tip. Notogaster and prodorsum with rough polygonate structure or irregular tubercles. Notogaster with irregular tubercules. L.: 430 \xm. (Fig. 3). - British Guiana Calobates antichthon Higgins, 1966 Notogaster with rough polygonate structure. Ventral plate with small polygonate structure.
