Treatment

Figs 6, 11–12, Table 1

Diagnosis

The species can be separated from the other Cleotyche (Cleotyche) species by the combination of the following characters:

1. Profemora rather broad, only 2.91 × as long as broad, and slightly narrower than protibiae ( Fig. 1C). 2. Vertex rather elongate, 2.04 × as long as broad ( Figs 11B, 12B).

3. Vertex and anterior portion of pronotum pale brown ( Figs 11B, 12B).

Differential diagnosis

This species differs from C. (Cleotyche) christinae sp. nov. and C. (Cleotyche) montana sp. nov., by the proportions of the profemora (profemora 2.91 × as long as broad vs min. 3.16 × in the two other species).

The most similar species is C. (Cleotyche) francescoi sp. nov. which additionally differs by having broader profemora (2.55 × as long as broad vs 2.91 × in C. (Cleotyche) mariae ) and less elongate vertex (1.71 × as long as broad vs 2.04 × in C. (Cleotyche) mariae ).
