Comments
. Close to
P. abutili
sp. n.
from which it is distinguished by the overall body coloration which is less dark and shape of the antennae. The fth instar larvae are diYcult to separate. In
P. abutili
sp. n.
the sectasetae on body are more slender than in
P. urenae
Russell. The
reference of
P. urenae
Russell
by Vondrác Ïek (1963: 277) refers to an undescribed species (see comments under unidenti ed material of
Paurocephala
sp.
Zaire
#1).
