The key is focused on attempting to describe indescribable features of genitalia. Other characters treated as diagnostic in the key don't always agree with the description of the same characters in the species accounts. However, the line drawings of genitalia are very detailed, and the species accounts include helpful information about character variation within species. Distribution maps are also included.
