Dissomphalus collaris Evans 1962: 67 , 73–74, 1964: 46, Gordh & Moczar 1990: 220.

Diagnosis. — Male. Head as figure 121. Mandible tridentate. Clypeus broadly projected forward, median lobe narrow and angular, paralleled by short and rounded lobe, median carina only as an impression, median area low. Frons very weakly coriaceous, punctures small and distant each other. Vertex slightly convex. Pronotal disc depressed forward. Notauli weakly impressed, absent in the posterior third of mesoscutum. Metasomal tergite II with pair of antero­lateral depression, shallow, transverse and elliptical, distant each other 1.3 X their transverse diameters, with very small pit near the inner side, with tuft of hairs inside, outer margin with sparse hairs ( Fig. 122 ). Hypopygium as figure 123. Genitalia ( Figs. 124–125 ): paramere with apex somewhat blunt, arched inward dorsal margin much developed basally; aedeagus with ventral ramus nearly long as dorsal body, basal half wide, apical half thin and slightly laterad, apex acute, dorsal body with two pairs of apical lobes, outer pair laminar, ventral, outer surface convex, apex rounded, inner pair stout, membranous, surface hairy; apodeme extending beyond the elliptical genital ring.

Material examined. — HOLOTYPE: male, CUBA, Cienfuegos, Soledad , I–II.1927, C. T. & B. B. Brues col. ( MCZH, #30340).
