Amblypsilopus stuckenbergi
species group
Diagnosis
The Madagascan
Amblypsilopus stuckenbergi
species group shares such characters as relatively narrow male face (0.5–2.2 times as wide as postpedicel height) and relatively short antennae (
1/5
–⅓ the length of their entire bodies). The other characters are very variable and unavailable for further splitting of the groups, being sometimes found in species of the
A. pallidicornis
group (e.g., a long apicoventral bristle on the fore tibia).
