Curtonotum striatifrons species-group

Notes. The striatifrons species-group is defined as having sternite 6 with a pair of divergent medial setae ( Figs 191–193 ), the basiphallus only partially fused to the phallapodeme and the distiphallus distinctly recurved ( Figs 197–199 ) and the lateral wing of the basiphallus forming a distinct basally expanded, but narrow blade ( Figs 197– 202 ).
