Remarks
Odontoscelio
sp. 2. is closest to
O. agnieleae
sp. nov.
but differs from it in the following characters: in
Odontoscelio
sp. 2 the ocelli are placed above the level of the vertex, the eyes are bulging and the mesoscutum is areolate on the anterior half, the posterior half with widely spaced vertical carinae. In
O. agnieleae
sp. nov.
the ocelli are level with the vertex, the eyes are not bulging and the mesoscutum is predominantly areolate.
