Material examined

Remarks

Loboscelidia defecta resembles L. fulgens, L. halimunensis Kojima, 2003 and L. reducta in having the following characteristics: strongly convex cervical expansion ( L. reducta); absent cu-a vein ( L. halimunensis and L. reducta); hindfemur not stout basally, as wide as its distal part ( L. fulgens and L. reducta); and swollen ventral margin of the hindfemur ( L. fulgens and L. reducta). However, L. defecta can be distinguished by the following characteristics: frons microstriate (polished and inpumctured in L. reducta); triangular frontal projection (rectangular in other three species); A 0.5–0.7 times as long as R (more than 0.8 times as long as in other species); Rs less than twice as long as R (more than twice as long as in L. halimunensis); and absent tibial flanges (present in L. fulgens) (Kimsey 2012).

Distribution
