Comments.
A female externally very similar to males of
Dinaraea longipenis
was mentioned by
Klimaszewski et al. (2013b)
but was not included in the type series or description because of close similarity to specimens of
Dinaraea piceana
Klimaszewski & Jacobs. During 2014, we collected another female that is identical to the one mentioned above. After comparison with
Dinaraea piceana
, we concluded that these females are
Dinaraea longipenis
.
Dinaraea piceana
differs externally from
Dinaraea longipenis
in possessing stronger microsculpture on the pronotum and elytra (appears matte), with brighter coloration. Here, we illustrate the female spermatheca, tergite, and sternite VIII of
Dinaraea longipenis
for the first time (Figs 189-191).
Figures 185-191.
