Description
Key to Eurythenes specimens larger than 25 mm.
This key is expanded from d’ Udekem d’ Acoz and Havermans (2015), and the caution of use remains. Character differences can be tough to objectively discern, and certain characteristics can be phenotypically variable between cohorts. Visual identification paired with DNA barcoding is strongly recommended.
