Taxonomic notes

Similar to Q. quixotea ; medium size species (10.4 mm) with moderately broad abdomen, broader than that in Q. quixotea ; basoflagellomere shorter (bf = 1.9) than in Q. quixotea ; adpressed, yellow hairs on the frontal triangle not obscuring the background colour of the triangle, unlike Q. angustiventris ; face with two lateral, shiny, black stripes, which are absent or narrower in Q. quixotea ; in Q. dolorosa , scutum with two medial, greyish pollinose stripes, each nearly as wide as the basoflagellomere is, and reaching, although faintly, the posterior margin of the scutum, whereas in Q. quixotea the medial stripes on the scutum are narrower than the width of its basoflagellomere, and they do not reach the posterior margin of the scutum; in Q. dolorosa , metabasotarsomere red, but in Q. quixotea almost black; in Q. dolorosa , cells R and BM bare of microtrichia on a narrow but conspicuous area along the sides of the vein M, whereas in Q. quixotea these areas are microtrichose.
