Scutum with posterolateral lamella present anteriorly, adjoining
tegula (Fig.
Adams, 1850), Cerithium atratum (Born, 1778),
Tegula viridula (Gmelin, 1791), and Ischnochiton striolatus (Gray, 1828)] contributed more than 75% of the total dissimilarity.
The distance from
tegula to head is about 0.6-0.9 times the distance from
tegula to hind margin of propodeum, scutellum in profile convex, mesopleuron smooth and polished; propodeum smooth, polished with two lateral longitudinal carinae only posteriorly, and opening pocket-like structure with a longitudinal opening in the central surface.

Tegula marron, con un punto amarillo en la parte anterior, cerca a la base del ala.
We measured distance between the outer edge of the
tegula of commonly collected (3+) insect visitors to provide a relative measure of body size.
