Discussion.
Apparently, after
Konow (1908)
nobody examined the type(s) of
segrega
. Most likely it was a single female, which is selected here as
lectotype
.
Malaise (1945)
used only the original description, and
Saini (2007: 56)
followed Malaise. Their descriptions are somewhat misleading, as the species is characterized by them among other things by its completely black mesopleura. In reality, the mesopleura are mainly pale (green in life), only black in the upper corner (given as “
pleurorum suturis et mesopleurorum summo apice subalari nigris
” in
Konow, 1908
). The species belongs to the subgenus
Eurogaster
