Diagnosis.
Regarding the species of this group, we noted that
Metrodora undulata
Cadena-Castañeda and Cardona-Granda, 2015
, from
Colombia
, is not a member of
Metrodora
Bolívar, 1887
, but in fact represents a species of
Cota
.
The
holotype
of
M
.
undulata
has head and pronotal morphology corresponding to members of
Cota
. Thus, the new combination
Cota undulata
(
Cadena-Castañeda and Cardona-Granda, 2015
)
n. comb.
should be used when referring to this species. It is morphologically very close to
C. saxosa
and can be distinguished from
C. saxosa
by a more rounded horn-like pronotum, with lateral lobes directed sidewards and subquadrate (
Fig. 21
).
