Moved from Valgus seticollis.

pygidial process in females, canaliculatis only?

Ratcliffe and Paulsen say that females of seticollis do not have the pygidial process (1)--that is part of how they key seticollis from canaliculatis.
These are confusing. I have looked at the tibial spines described as keying the two species in Harpootlian's key, and I am not sure I understand the difference.

I don't have an answer,

perhaps Dr. Lago can address your query?

… Mike Quinn, 23 June, 2017 - 9:18am

thanks, inquiry sent

I sent Dr. Lago an e-mail referencing this image. Very interesting problem! Incidentally, Dr. Paulsen is here on BugGuide!
