Loboscelidia nixoni is another of the species characterized by having a curved medial vein, rectangular frontal projection, and no scrobal sulcus, as discussed under Loboscelidia philippinensis . In this group Loboscelidia nixoni differs from Loboscelidia nasiformis and Loboscelidia cinnamonea in having cu-a well-developed and half as long as R. It can be separated from Loboscelidia philippinensis , and Loboscelidia levigata by the combination of the scape and flagellomere XI less than twice as long as broad, flagellomeres I and II less than 1.7 × as long as broad and hindtibial flange less than 0.7 × as wide as tubular part of tibia.
