Identification
The males are extremely similar to Ephialtes zirnitsi.
According to Horstmann (2011) the two species
cannot be separated using genital
morphological characters. Other morphometric
characters like the length of antennal, tarsal
or body segments also fail to distinguish
between the two species. Horstmann (2011)
finds color differences between the males of
the two species and these are given in the
following table:
|
apical
hind femur
|
dorsolateral
hind tibia
|
E.
zirnitsi |
brownish
spot
|
black
stripe
|
E. brevis |
