Siphanta eberhardi Fletcher
Caution
Many of the insects depicted on these pages are outwardly similar and you should not use photographs as the sole means of identification. These pages form part of a scientific key which will assist a trained entomologist to identify the species accurately.
(Flatidae: Flatinae: Siphantini)
This is one of five species that are somewhat variable in size, shape of tegmen and, to some extent, colour but can only be differentiated by examination of the male genitalia. See also S. acuta, S. hebes, S. angularis, and S. tropica.
Note: Very similar in appearance toS. angularis. Plant species on which this species has been collected include avocado, jackfruit, guava and mango. Illustrations of the habitus, head and genitalia were provided by Fletcher (1985: 9-10, 92, 141-144).
