Discussion.
This female resembles the species of
Blagorrhina
and
Gracilorrhina
. It differs from both by having only 10 flagellomeres, from the former by having the mouthparts much shorter and by having a totally setose scutum, and from the latter by the separate CuA1 and CuA2. We leave the placement of this species until either its male or the females of the other related groups are discovered.
