Diagnosis.
Differs from Cicatrix neumannoides and Cicatrix schauffi by having female antenna with 11 flagellomeres (these two species having female antenna with 10 flagellomeres, ( Fig. 2F View Figure 2 , Cicatrix schauffi )), much stronger carinae crossing the entire face ( Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ) (only marked at lateral sides of the face in the other two species, and being smoother, more like strigae), and by lacking a median mesoscutal impression (present and long in Cicatrix schauffi comb. n. ( Fig. 2B View Figure 2 ), short in Cicatrix neumannoides sp. n. ( Fig. 2E View Figure 2 )).
