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). (D) Details ofT1–T2 of S. gretae (♀, paratype). Scale bars show 1 mm.

Fig. 11. Morphological differences between species of Schwarzia. (A) Mesosoma of S. gretae in lateral view (♀, paratype). Left arrow points to the produced, lamellate axilla. Right arrow points to the produced, dorsally protruding metanotum. (B) Posterior dorsolateral view of S. icipensis (♀, paratype).The axillae are not produced or lamellate. Scale bars show 1 mm.
