Agnosthaetus ecarinatus species-group

This species-group contains only A. ecarinatus . It differs fundamentally from all other species with a “ Type A” aedeagus in having distinctive reticulate microsculpture on the head and thorax, and from all other known species by the combination

of this feature and the lack of a distinct antennoocular carina on the head (see Fig. 10 , ao).
