Comments
Coccobius furvus
is close to
Coccobius viggianii
Yasnosh
and
Coccobius nunu
Japoshvili. In
C. viggianii
there are polygonal cells on both the mesoscutum and scutellum, and elongated cells on the middle of mesoscutum and scutellum.
Coccobius viggianii
and
C. furvus
have fewer than 10 setae on the submarginal vein, while there are at least
10 in
C. nunu
.
