Amblypsilopus stuckenbergi View in CoL species group

Diagnosis

The Madagascan Amblypsilopus stuckenbergi species group shares such characters as relatively narrow male face (0.5–2.2 times as wide as postpedicel height) and relatively short antennae (1/5 –⅓ the length of their entire bodies). The other characters are very variable and unavailable for further splitting of the groups, being sometimes found in species of the A. pallidicornis group (e.g., a long apicoventral bristle on the fore tibia).

Notes
