Name
Choriphyllum (sagrai) complex nov. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Composition and distribution
The complex includes two morphologically similar species, C. sagrai and C. wallaceum sp. nov., endemic to Cuba.
Diagnosis
(Figs 1, 3). Members of the Choriphyllum (sagrai) complex can be differentiated from their congeners by: (1) the caudal tip of the pronotum which reaches beyond the hind knees (reaches the tips of the knees in C. bahamense and C. saussurei), (2) the shape of the caudal tip of the pronotum which is excised at an angle (excised vertically in C. bahamense) and (3) the high, convex and sharply sloped crest (in C. saussurei, it is low, concave, sharply sloped and bears an undulation and in C. bahamense, it is of medium height, concave and moderately sloped, without an undulation).
