Holotype
3 (IES # 184) in good condition. The original description stated that this species could be the male of
M. robustus
(
Cryptanura robusta
), a suggestion that can now be discounted as both the male of
robusta
and female of
strenua
are known.
C. strenua
has the mesopleuron almost entirely black (vs. extensively pale in
C. robusta
) and pale mark around propodeal apophysis not reaching hind end of propodeum (vs. reaching in
C. robusta
).
