Diagnosis |
Most similar to A. quadrus, but distinguished by
the number of anteroadmedial signum struts (3 or more in A. quadrus,
2 in A. paragi), by the relative length F1 of the female antenna
(nearly 2 × length of F2 in A. paragi; 1.5 × length of F2 in
A. quadrus), and by the shape and sculpturing of the mesoscutellar
fovea (anteriorly rounded and mostly smooth in A. paragi,
anteriorly triangular and with more horizontal striae in A. quadrus).
Distinguished from all other Anacharoides by the sculpture of the
mesoscutum (shagreened in A. pallida, strigate in A. stygius,
rugose in A. nicknacki and A. striaticeps). |
