Remarks

Loboscelidia pecki resembles L. cinnamonea and L. vietnamensis sp. nov. However, L. pecki can be distinguished by the following characteristics: scape 3.0 times or less as long as wide (3.9 times as long as wide in L. cinnamonea ); scrobal sulcus present (absent in L. cinnamonea ); and Rs at least 3.0 times as long as the R (twice as long as R in L. cinnamonea ) ( Kimsey 2012). L. pecki shares with L. vietnamensis sp. nov. the combination of the following characteristics: rectangular frontal projection; scape less than 3.0 times as long as wide; and Rs 3.2 times as long as R. However, L. pecki can be distinguished by the following characteristics: F11 4.0 times as long as wide (nealy 3.0 times as long as wide in L. vietnamensis sp. nov.); pronotum 0.9 times as long as posterior width (0.80 times as long as posterior width in L. vietnamensis sp. nov.); hindcoxa without lateral carina (with the lateral carina in L. vietnamensis sp. nov.); hindtibial flange 1.3 times as long as the tubular part (twice as long as the tubular part in L. vietnamensis sp. nov.); and lacking cu-a (present in L. vietnamensis sp. nov.).
