. This key is more reliant on color pattern, as differences in the macular pattern of the hemelytra are more conspicuous than those of the genitalia. As a result, this updated key was loosely informed by the iteration provided by Coscarόn’s (1983a), although her habitus plates will still greatly aide in identification.
