discussion
Remarks Loboscelidia flapives sp. nov. resembles L. vietnamensis sp. nov. and L. bachmaensis sp. nov. in having the following characteristics: frons microstriate; cervical expansion weakly convex; F 1 less than twice as long as wide; and Rs more than 3.0 times as long as R (L. vietnamensis sp. nov.). However, L. flavipes sp. nov. can be distinguished by the following characteristics: yellow body color (red or reddish brown in the other two species); temple more than 0.50 times as long as MOD (L. vietnamensis sp. nov. less than 0.30 times as long as R); POL as long as MOD (L. vietnamensis sp. nov. shorter than MOD, L. bachmaensis sp. nov. longer than MOD); pronotum narrower than head (wider than head in L. bachmaensis sp. nov.); and cu-a 0.50 times as long as R (nearly 0.30 times as long as R in other two species).
