Diagnosis
This is one of four species, including Loboscelidia brunnea, Loboscelidia maculipennis and Loboscelidia nitidula, with the cervical expansion of the vertex flat in profile. Loboscelidia maai males can be distinguished from these species by having the scape less than 2.5× as long as broad, the presence of a scrobal sulcus, and the tibial flanges wider than the tubular part of the respective tibiae.
