Chlerogas tatamaensis Engel & Gonzalez, 2009  

This species is close to C. colombiensis Brooks & Engel, with the genitalia being somewhat reminiscent of each other, particularly in volsellar shape (both species have short transverse volsellae). Chlerogas tatamaensis can be distinguished from C. colombiensis by the transverse dark brown bands on metasomal terga I and II (entirely amber in the latter species), the dark facial coloration with golden and green highlights (brilliant metallic green in C. colombiensis), the presence of a deep concave U-shaped medioapical notch on metasomal sternum V (such a notch absent in C. colombiensis), and by the structure of the terminalia. Externally C. tatamaensis looks most similar to C. townesi Brooks & Engel, but the terminalia are considerably different as the latter belongs to a putative clade with greatly developed volsellae versus the short, transverse volsellae of C. tatamaensis and C. colombiensis, with the volsellar structure in C. hirsutipennis Cockerell being somewhat intermediate between these two classes of form.
