Remarks.
This single female certainly represents a new, undescribed species. It is readily separated from all other females of
Corynotopsis
by: 1) the larger body, length 2.43 mm, maximal width 0.94 mm; 2) the pronotum slightly longer than wide; 3) the pair of paratergal trichomes, fine, formed by one to two macrosetae; and mainly; and 4) by having the sharp, pointed projection on the end of the abdomen. Due to the absence of a male and taking into account the complicated taxonomic situation in
C. scotti
(see Remarks for that species), we decided not to formally describe this species.
