Review (by Malcolm Storey)Two keys: a conventional dichotomous key, and a second multi-access key based on colour pattern.
Errata, Corrigenda & Comments

Couplet 12.

- Apical abdominal tergites black……*abditus*
- Apical abdominal tergites red…..*relator*
The description of *relator* agrees with this: "It may be distinguished from *abditus* by its entirely red abdominal apex".

But the quick key has *relator* as ABBBB and BBBB, the final "B" meaning black apical segments.

Examine Stereo Microscope
Identification difficultyThe species with the "double" antennal sockets are easy, but the rest require careful measurement and genitalia examination.
