The holotype of Paracolletes viridicinctus , which is female, has no significant morphological variation from that of Lamprocolletes providius . The holotype of Paracolletes helmsi , which is male, is identical to those males associated with Lamprocolletes providus by coincident collection data and morphological similarity.
