Macrelmis striata

striata View in CoL species group Hinton, 1940

Diagnostic character: aedeagus with a constriction in the median region, tapering towards the apex ( Figs. 4D – F View FIGURE 4 A – F ).

Species: Macrelmis sandersoni , M. striata and M. striatoidea .

Distribution ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 ): Mexico: Temascaltepec and Morelos ( Hinton 1936; Hinton 1940; Brown 1984). Guatemala: Rio Naranjo ( Sharp 1882).

History of the group: Hinton (1940) stated that M. striatoidea , M. striata and M. sandersoni are similar to each other, but did not formally describe the species group. He differentiated the species based on presence/absence of fine hairs on the four basal tarsi segments. Hinton (1940) also stated that M. grandis resembles these three species (despite of being associated to M. granigera by Hinton (1934)) being different in size, but the male genitalia of M. grandis fits in the grandis species group and should not be included in this group.
