Key to species of Parawenhoekia of the world (larva)

There are no measurements and detailed leg chaetotaxy data for P. dectici . The holotype of P. dectici was not available and we could not check it. Saboori et al. (2020) and Hakimitabar and Saboori (2022) stated metric data and the number of normal and sometimes specialized setae on TFe-Ta are too variable to be used as criteria for taxonomic decisions. The new identification key is prepared to include P. aginapaica

1 Setae AL and PL stout and subequal. .................................. P. seadi Saboori, Pesic & Hakimitabar, 2008

— Setae AL and PL setiform and PL longer than AL. ......................................................................................... 2

2 Setae SE semi-equal with AM. ........................................................................................ P. dectici Paoli, 1937

— Setae SE more than twice as long as AM. ................................................... P. aginapaica ( Haitlinger, 1999)
