M. Reemer.
Comparative diagnosis (male). Body length: male
7 mm
. The partly dark coloured tergites and the approximately equal length of scape and basoflagellomere set this species apart from
Domodon incauleatus
sp. nov.
and
D. sensibilis
sp. nov.
, respectively. The dark median vitta on the face separates it from
D. peperpotensis
. From
D. caxiuana
sp. nov.
, it differs by the more extensive yellow markings on the tergites (
Fig. 27
). In
D. zodiacus
, the yellow markings on the median part of tergite 3 reach from the posterior to the anterior margin (
Fig. 27
), whereas in
D. caxiuana
sp. nov.
these markings are confined to the posterior margin (
Fig. 24
).
FEMALE. Unknown.
Distribution. NEOTROPICAL—Suriname (
Paramaribo
) (
Fig. 28
).
