The Curtonotum taeniatum View in CoL species complex
This species complex is defined by the presence of a roughened frontal vitta extending from the anterior ocellus to the ventral margin of the frons, and by a patch of rough texture proximal to the surstyli. A roughened frontal vitta is otherwise only found in C. vulpinum species complex sp. G, a small black species. Besides C. bathmedum and C. bivittatum , the three species in the complex, C. flavisetum , C. tumidum and C. taeniatum , are also the only yelloworange species outside of the C. vulpinum species complex. They can be easily distinguished from C. bathmedum and C. bivittatum by the absence of highly contrasting vittae on the frons and scutum and the very different wing patterning (compare Figures 215 View FIGURES 210–218 and 206 View FIGURES 203–209 ).
