Remarks.
Marcuzzi (2002)
states he thinks this specimen is really from
Cuba
, although his logic is at best contorted. At
12 mm
, this is a large species, whatever it is. The antenna is not clubbed. The right pro- and mesotarsi are like a female’ s, the left like a male’ s. Repeated requests to Naturalis have gone unanswered.
