Culcua, by the key in Rozkosny & Kozanek, 2007 (Insect Syst. Evol. 38: 35-50) runs to C. argentea (with mid basitarsomere rather yellow than dark brown to black).
Edited by Dmitry Gavryushin on 23-05-2018 15:34 While others can't climb, using infinite pains, I, gravity turning to jest, Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes, Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best. |

There is a new species C. lingafelteri Woodley, 2012 which "will key to C. argentea Rozkošný and Kozánek but differs from it by having darker antennae; longer, more conspicuous pilosity on the eye; the postocular orbit narrower; conspicuous, erect black setulae present on the scutum and scutellum; and wing cell cua1 mostly hyaline." |
