Thripobius semiluteus Boucek

T. semiluteus vertex

Biology:

Comments: Shared-derived characters argue for a clade of Thripobius and Entedonastichus. This genus is part of a clade including the above genera and Goetheana, probably related to Closterocerus.

Comparative information:

Ceranisus: frontal grooves meeting eyes at or below level of median ocellus. Malar sulcus not split.

Entedonastichus: Petiole quadrate to longer than broad.
