Diagnosis.

This is another species with a complete scrobal sulcus and triangular frontal projection. Male Loboscelidia collaris can be distinguished from species with these traits by the combination of the pronotum with a sharp crease or ridge dorsolaterally, scape less than 3 × as long as broad, flagellomeres I and II more than twice as long as broad, flagellomere XI 3.5 –4.0× as long as broad, and the fore, mid and hindfemoral flanges as long as the femora.
