Cephalops sp.

One female specimen with yellow antennae and legs and distinctly pilose and partially yellow abdomen cannot be identified. Probably they are conspecific with Costa Rican specimens examined, but not identified to specific level by Rafael and Menezes (1999). The specimen is rather similar to the male of C. pallipes in the colouration of its antennae and legs. However it is different in the scutellum and abdominal pilosity and yellow spots on some tergites. Because of this we are reluctant to associate this specimen with the male of C. pallipes .
