Comments.
Buenoa exilidens
is similar, in general appearance, to
B. platycnemis
(Fieber, 1851)
with its dark brown color and rostral prong originating laterally on the distal region of the third rostral segment, and distinctly longer than this segment. According to Barbosa
et al.
(2010a),
B. exilidens
differs from the first species by its rostral prong being thinner (
Fig. 18
,
43
); the pronotum not tricarinate; the apex of the fore femur a little narrower (
Fig. 19
,
44
); the stridulatory area with four to seven irregular ridges; and the claspers distinct (
Fig. 20
,
45
). The pronotum of
Buenoa platycnemis
is distinctly tricarinate, and the stridulatory area has 11 to 14 well-marked ridges. The rostral prong of
B. exilidens
is similar to that of
B. tumaquensis
Padilla-Gil, 2010
, a species that occurs in
Colombia
.
Buenoa exilidens
,
however, lacks the parallel striae perpendicular to the stridulatory comb of the fore femur, with fewer ridges, and less teeth on the stridulatory comb of the fore tibia than in
B. tumaquensis
.
