Comments
Coccobius curtifuniculatus
resembles
C. popei
(Girault)
, but differs from the latter in having the scutellum with two pairs of setae; fore wing with submarginal vein bearing six setae and marginal vein eight setae. In
C. popei
, the scutellum bears six setae; the submarginal and marginal veins have 10 and 13–14 setae, respectively.
Coccobius curtifuniculatus
is also similar to
Coccobius indefinitus
(Yasnosh & Myartseva)
, but differs in having F1 distinctly shorter and nearly quadrate.
