Triepeolus cruciformis Rightmyer, 2008
Biology:
Viguiera dentata (Cav.) Spreng.
Diagnostic description:
This species can be distinguished by the combination of the plus-sign shaped T1 discal patch; the medially interrupted ATBs on T1–T4; the black or dark brown legs; the distinct basal region of silvery setae on the pseudopygidial area (from which it can be separated from the similar species T. warriti, whose pseudopygidial area is entirely dark brown or has a very poorly differentiated basal area of silvery setae); the relatively short clypeus; the absence of erect, simple setae on the mesepisternum; the white lateral setae on the female T5; and the strongly downturned apical margin of S5.
