Cylindrostethus palmaris is the only South American species of the genus that displays wing dimorphism, with apterous and macropterous morphs ( Fig. 5H, J ). Other species from the continent are entirely apterous, which makes identification of winged specimens immediate ( Floriano et al. 2016 ). Our apterous specimens were identified based on the body mostly yellow; the lateral black stripes of the mesonotum as wide as the median yellow stripe ( Fig. 5H ); the black fore tibia; the posterior margin of male abdominal sternum VII emarginated at the middle ( Fig. 5I ); and the basolateral processes of the male proctiger distinctly shorter than wide ( Floriano et al. 2016 ).
