Comments. Specimens of G. pollinifera show great variations, such as eye color and body size. This species is very close to Glaphyropyga himantocera (Wiedemann, 1828) , from which it is distinguished by the patterns of tomentum on the scutum and pleura, the absence of setae on the scutellum and the dark brown spot on the wings. This species is characterized by having a yellow scape and pedicel, a scape longer than pedicel ( Figs 38, 39 ), a short stylus with a small sensorial element at the apex; pleura with a dark vertical spot on the anterior part and yellow wings with a dark spot on the subcostal cell ( Figs 36, 37 ), which does not extend to R 4 ( CARRERA, 1945).
