Ambrysus signoreti
Stål
species complex
Usinger (1946)
first made reference to the “

Ambrysus
.
In a later work,
La Rivers (1957)
listed the unifying features of species in the
A. signoreti
complex: 1) broad body shape, 2) wide embolia, 3) prominent maculation, and 4) posterolateral corners of abdominal segments III–V produced (spinose).
