in the descriptions of these species. The valves of Baliochila are oblong, more or less falcate at 

 the apex, and the penis never bears lobes distally like those of Teriomima subpunctata. 



On the basis of the morphology of the male genitalia, Baliochila can be divided 

 into four groups of species : — 



a. Uncus bifid, the two branches widely separate, more or less slender, special 

 processes rather short (Stempffer & Bennett, figs. 32-43) : — 



Baliochila aslauga, barnesi, neavei, hildegarda, dubiosa, nyasae, stygia. 



b. Uncus in form of a flattened median process excavate at the extremity, the 

 special processes long and slender (figs. 44-45) : — 



Baliochila woodi, fragilis. 



c. Uncus bifid, the two branches slender and ending in a point, special processes 

 long and stout (figs. 46-50) : — 



Baliochila minima, lipara. 



d. Uncus bifid, its two branches carried on a long common stem, no special 

 processes, but the anellus bearing paired long slender processes (fig. 51) : — 



Baliochila singidaris.
