Remarks. This species has arches in the center of the cephalis connecting the apical spine to the lateral spines, and a bar that splits off from the apical spine to produce a secondary horn on the dorsal side. These characteristics are not typical of Lithomelissa , so future work may reveal that this species belongs better in a different genus.
