Key

The key has 132 end points, one for each alata (winged female) and aptera (wingless female) of each of 66 species. The key will work for slide-mounted winged and wingless adult live-bearing females only. The key does not include males, oviparae (egg-laying females), or immatures. It may not work for all fundatrices (foundress from the first egg) or alatae and apterae from primary hosts (for those species with host alternation).
