Comments

Coccobius wuyiensis resembles Coccobius aligarhensis (Hayat) , but differs from the latter in having the scape basally dark brown, pedicel weakly darkish; vertex, mid lobe of mesoscutum and scutellum dark brown; metasomal terga laterally with noncontinuous dark brown areas. In C. aligarhensis the antenna is pale yellow, except the scape basally brown; the mid lobe of the mesoscutum and scutellum are not completely dark brown; the metasoma is pale with a longitudinal brown band on each side extending from the base to the cercal plates.
