The Curtonotum bathmedum View in CoL species complex

Diagnosis. This species complex is defined by a highly derived female sternite 8 with a heavily sclerotized and laterally dimpled posterior margin. The two species in this complex, C. bathmedum and C. bivittatum , are nearly indistinguishable without dissection, although they are easily distinguished from all other congeners by either of the following characters: distinct parallel dark brown vittae on an otherwise dark yellow frons and prominent dark brown scutal vittae on an otherwise orange-yellow thorax.
