Genus Ceraeochrysa
Species cincta (Ceraeochrysa cincta)
Explanation of Names
Ceraeochrysa cincta (Schneider 1851)
cincta = from the Latin cīncta ('encircled, crowned, girded, or enclosed')
Identification
Red marks on the sides of the prothorax, antennal scapes with two stripes on the dorsal (upper) surface, flagellum usually pale (variable).
Range
FL
Remarks
The populations described from Florida and Mexico likely represent two separate species within a species complex. As Schneider's (1851) description is of a specimen from Brazil, our population would thus probably represent an unnamed species.(1)
See Also
C. cubana and C. valida are similar but have a single stripe on the scape.
