| comments |
Telonaca alta is very closely related to Glossonotus acuminatus, with both species having almost identical nymphs (pers. comm. M.S. Wallace). Therefore, in some situations, identifications may only be tentative at best. Additionally, there is an in-between species/hybrid and it is not clear whether it is Telonaca alta, Glossonotus acuminatus, or something undescribed. |
