On Estoloides scabracaulis Chemsak & Noguera, 1993 View in CoL

Chemsak & Noguera (1993) described E. scabracaulis based on a large series of males and females, nearly all of which are from Estación de Biologia Chamela (Mexico, Jalisco). According to the authors: “The dense, appressed, pale fulvous pubescence interrupted by glabrous punctures make this species easily recognizable. It is also distinctive by the asperate antennal scape and obtuse lateral tubercles of the pronotum.”

Martins & Galileo (2010) described E. aurantius based on a single female from Quintana Roo, and recorded (translated): “ Estoloides (E.) aurantius sp. nov. is characterized by the following features: dorsal pubescence orangish, interspersed with contrasting and abundant black punctures; scape with roughness at outer side of apex, and scutellum covered with white pubescence.” Comparison of original descriptions, photographs of the types (see Bezark 2017), and specimens in the MZSP collection ( Figs 19–20 View FIGURES 13–21. 13 ) clearly indicate that E. aurantius and E. scabracaulis are synonymous.

Two remarkable features make E. scabracaulis one of the easiest Estoloides species to recognize, these being: the protarsi in male large, with long lateral setae (resembling many species of Acanthoderini ), and small asperities near apex, on outer side of scape, in both sexes.
