Diagnosis |
Most similar to A. paragi, but distinguished by
the number of antero-admedial signum struts (2 in A. paragi, 3 or
more in A. quadrus), by the relative length of F1 of the female
antenna (1.5 × length of F2 in A. quadrus; nearly 2 × length of
F2 in A. paragi), and by the shape and sculpturing of the
mesoscutellar fovea (anteriorly triangular and with more horizontal
striae in A. quadrus, anteriorly rounded and mostly smooth in
A. paragi). 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). |
