Ibution Central America (Fig. ). Identified only from the form locality in Belize. Taxon discussion The principal basis for putting Z. spatulosus inside the Zelus luriduroup will be the expanded paramere (Fig. ). Nonetheless, this species shows quite a few characters which depart substantially in the remaining species as described in the following. The medial process is slender and laterally compressed, the struts are certainly not evidently visible, the dorsal phallothecal sclerite is distinctly shaped, using a rrow basal portion and expanded apical element, plus the basal plate arms are fused. These characters are so distinct that Stibogluconate (sodium) they’re possibly either autapomorphic or homoplasious. As no characters are found to unite Z. spatulosus with species of other specieroup, its placement inside the Zelus luridus specieroup appears to become the top choice to take.Zelus sphegeus Fabricius,Nomenclature Zelus sphegeus Fabricius,, p., orig. descr.; St,, p., cat.; Lethierry and Severin,, p., cat.; Haviland,, p.,, list and note; Wygodzinsky, a, p., checklist; Maldodo,, p., cat.
