Russ, I have to admit, that's one of the things about these keys. There definitely can be a lot of overlap. If you look at the chart, you'll see that characters #3,6,7,8,11,12 (oops, sorry Bill, overlooked those) and 14 are virtually useless for distinguishing T.merianae from T.teguixin.
I may be wrong, but I think everyone will agree you've got your arms full of T.merianae.
