2. Larger species, length 3.24–3.88 mm; head with a broad pale yellowish-brown fascia across base; basal half of antennal segment II distinctly thicker than apical half; labium relatively short, extending to middle coxae; genital tubercle stout ( Fig. 133 View FIGURES 129–137 ), broadly rounded apically; distribution: Oaxaca and Puebla, Mexico................................ nigrus (Carvalho) View in CoL
