Comments on identification.
As pro- and mesotarsomere IV are distinctly broader and shallowly emarginated, this species cannot be attributed to
Mordellistena
. To distinguish it from other Eocene
Mordellistenini
see the Key below. Because of the uncertain generic identity of this species, it is transferred here into
Baltistena
new collective group.
