Diagnosis
Loboscelidia nixoni is another of the species characterized by having a curved medial vein, rectangular frontal projection, and no scrobal sulcus, as discussed under Loboscelidia philippinensis. In this group Loboscelidia nixoni differs from Loboscelidia nasiformis and Loboscelidia cinnamonea in having cu-a well-developed and half as long as R. It can be separated from Loboscelidia philippinensis, and Loboscelidia levigata by the combination of the scape and flagellomere XI less than twice as long as broad, flagellomeres I and II less than 1.7× as long as broad and hindtibial flange less than 0.7× as wide as tubular part of tibia.
