BODY LENGTH

Based on 16 specimens, Lomholdt gave the size range as 8-10mm.

2512C has a body length of ~7.5mm

HEAD

“Punctation on frons much denser and stronger, interstices narrower, micropunctation finer.” … “Frontal and clypeal pubescence much denser, brassy or slightly golden.”

HEAD

“Frontal and clypeal pubescence much denser, brassy or slightly golden. Clypeal outline as in Fig. 32.”

HEAD

“Clypeal outline as in Fig. 32.”

HEAD

“Punctation on frons much denser and stronger, interstices narrower, micropunctation finer. Frontal line distinct in some specimens. Facial fovea absent.”

Note: There is a trace of a frontal line in the lower half of the frons of 2512C.

HEAD

“Facial fovea absent. Scapal basin deeper.”

Note: In this direct dorsal view I see evidence of narrow facial fovea, although they are indistinct.

HEAD

“Antennae long, first flagellomere almost twice as long as wide (15:8).”

HEAD

“Antennae long, first flagellomere almost twice as long as wide (15:8). Proximal flagellar segments light ferrugineous ventrally to quite light ferrugineous. Tyloidea absent or only very slightly indicated. Proximal flagellar segments conical, slightly convex ventrally and concave dorsally in some specimens.”

(this image: dorso-lateral view scape, pedicel and proximal antennomeres)

Note: I see no evidence of tyloidea in 2512C.

THORAX

“Median pronotal prominence very weak or absent.”

Note: I see no evidence of a median prominence in 2512C

THORAX

“Pronotal lobes slightly ferrugineous transparent in some specimens.”

Note: pronotal lobe entirely black in 2512C

THORAX

“Thoracic, propodeal, and gastral sculpture stronger and denser.”

GASTER

“Thoracic, propodeal, and gastral sculpture stronger and denser.”

LEGS

“Metatarsus I with 4-5 rake spines.”

GASTER - sternum VIII

GASTER - sternum VIII

Compare sternum VIII to Fig. 33. Note, however, that the diagram shows the entire sclerite, dissected. In the intact gaster, only the apical portion is visible.
