Comments. Currently,
E. pruinosus
is only recorded in
Brazil
.
Eraxasilus pruinosus
is characterized by having yellow mystax interspersed with black setae (
Figs 34, 35
); gray thorax, yellow tomentose, gray scutellum (
Fig. 33
); black femora (
Fig. 32
), yellow tibiae, black tarsi posteriorly (
Fig. 33
), terminalia reddish (
Fig. 32
) (
ARTIGAS & ANGULO, 1980
).
Eraxasilus pruinosus
is very close to
E. acuminatus
Carrera, 1959
, but they can be distinguished by the shape of the hypandrium. In
E. pruinosus
the hypandrium is not acuminate, but curved and smooth, while in
E. acuminatus
the hypandrium has a small acuminate projection covered with small setae (
CARRERA, 1959
).
