Colocistis segredentata (Mickel & Krombein) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Aglyptacros segredentata Mickel & Krombein, 1942:671. Holotype female; USA: Arizona, Benson (MCZ).
Diagnosis
This might be the female of Colocistis castanea. It shares a number of characteristics with Colocistis eureka as discussed under that species. Colocistis castanea can be distinguished by the meso- metapleural suture absent or faint and incomplete and the medially interrupted transverse carina posterior to the gular carina.
Male unknown.
