03ECBC0DD40CC9373EB7F8D1FB21FD44.taxon	description	Recognition. Large tachinid, with scutum brownish, scutellum tawny to yellowish and abdomen broad, yellowish, with triangular black spot at apical middle of syntergite 1 + 2 and tergite 3, with blackish spline-like setae throughout the abdomen.	en	Santis, Marcelo Domingos De, Couri, Márcia Souto (2025): An additional Mexican species for the Neotropical genus Eudexia Brauer and Bergenstamm (Tachinidae, Dexiini), with a redescription and lectotype fixation.

03ECBC0DD40CC9373EB7F8D1FB21FD44.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Vertex broad, about 0.35 x of head width in dorsal view, at most 0.15 in other species. Legs yellowish. Abdomen tawny-yellowish, but with syntergite 1 + 2 and tergite 3 with a triangular black spot at apical middle; without pruinosity; and tergite 5 with only posterior most region, about 1 / 9, brownish. This species is morphologically close to Eudexia colombiana (Townsend, 1929) — see fig. 2 of Santis (2021) — but can be readily differentiated from E. mellea comb. nov. by having the upper calypter yellowish (slightly brownish-black in E. colombiana), fore femur entirely yellowish (mostly yellowish, with portions of ventral regions blackish in E. colombiana), abdomen with syntergite 1 + 2 with conspicuous triangular black spot (absent in E. colombiana) and tergite 5 with only posterior most region, about 1 / 9, brownish (pale brownish in E. colombiana).	en	Santis, Marcelo Domingos De, Couri, Márcia Souto (2025): An additional Mexican species for the Neotropical genus Eudexia Brauer and Bergenstamm (Tachinidae, Dexiini), with a redescription and lectotype fixation.
