REMARK
An undescribed species of
Metrodora
resembling
M. colombiae
Günther, 1939
and
M. pygmaea
(Roberts, 1937)
has been observed. It is recognizable by a vertex three times wider than an eye, by lightly protruding lateral lobes, and by a median carina that is not significantly elevated. It differs from
M. colombiae
by differently shaped vertex and lateral lobes. It differs from
M. pygmaea
by having more strongly protruding lateral lobes and less protruding medial carina of the vertex.
