Comments:
This species is known from New South
Wales
by the
type
specimens. It is more similar to
Ceratinoderma
Stål
species than to the other
Agramma
Stephens
species from the region by the coleopteroid shape of the body and the lack of distinct hemelytral areas.
Ceratinoderma
is known by two species (
C. fornicata
Stål
and
C. stali
Rodrigues
), both from Africa and both lacking distinct hemelytral areas.
Agramma pictipenne
is also similar to
A. kivuensis
(Schouteden)
, which has a narrow and uniseriate costal area, and a slight and almost indistinct RM vein between the subcostal and discoidal areas.
Kivuensis
former belonged to the genus
Ceratinoderma
.
