Fig. 10. Characteristic morphological features of different species of Schwarzia. (A) Head of female S. emmae, anterior dorsolateral view.The upper two arrows point to granulose protrusions on the supra-antennal area, the lower arrow points to the indented inner margin of the compound eye. (B) Female paratype of S. gretae in same view.The supra-antennal area is evenly punctate and the inner margin of the compound eye is not indented. (C) Details ofT1–T2 of S. icipensis (♀, paratype).
