Troporhogas unicolor ( Chen & He, 1997)

Comments.

Known only from a single male specimen from Yunnan. The holotype has a distinctively coloured metasoma, ochreous yellow with some darker medial spots but, given the sexual dimorphism in colour pattern in the boldly coloured species ( T. benjamini sp. nov. and T. contrastus ), it is impossible to know whether this would be useful for recognising females of the species.
