Belostoma foveolatum ( Mayr, 1863)

Diagnosis

Belostoma foveolatum is very similar to B. elongatum , but can be distinguished by the width of the ventral diverticulum in ventral view, which is narrower than in B. elongatum , as well as by the shape of the body; phallosoma with the dorsal arms more separate at mid-length in dorsal aspect. Finally, the lateral margins of the ventral diverticulum are clearly more strongly curved than in B. elongatum ( Ribeiro et al. 2017) .
