Digonocryptus diversicolor ( Viereck, 1913) View in CoL

Morphological variation. Hind coxa dorso-basally with diffuse yellowish spot on females from Venezuela (a small streak, right coxa only) and Ecuador (distinct spot, both coxae), and with distinct yellow mark surrounded by dark brown area on the female from Trinidad. The male from Sooretama is unusually large (fore wing 9.5 mm), and its hind coxa dorso basally also shows a distinct yellow area.

Comments. The presence of a yellow area or spot on the hind coxa was unknown for this species, and will conflict with couplet 34 in the key by Aguiar and Ramos (2011). It does seem, however, to be unusual for the species. In one female (from Venezuela) it is subtle and present on one of the hind coxae only. This feature does have some taxonomic value, but it is not absolute. See also comments for D. arcaeus .
