Armentaros &amp; S. Medrano, in alcohol, deposited in MTEC. Three paratypes collected as reported above in specimens examined section section, two deposited in CMNH and one in SHSU.</p> <p>Distribution: This species is known from the specimens reported here that include Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico.</p> <p>Host: Unknown</p> <p>Etymology: The specific epithet albocciput combines two Latin roots, alb- meaning white and -occiput meaning back of the head. This refers to the distinctive white area at the back of the head in dorsal view, between the dark brown epicranial plates (Fig. 1).</p> <p>Discussion: The maxilla in Triozocera is a good character to aid in species identification, and this structure is usually easily observed in males of this genus. Triozocera albocciput n. sp. has a maxilla with a short palp that extends just beyond the extension of the maxillary base. This maxilla most closely resembles that of T. eurychilus from Costa Rica, however several characters easily separate these species. The wing of T. eurychilus has only one detached vein, an extremely long R 3 while T. albocciput n. sp. has two detached radial veins. The vein R 1 of T. eurychilus is continuous and nearly reaches the wing margin, while in T. albocciput it is very short. The wings of these species are easily distinguished and may be the best character to distinguish between the Caribbean species. Number of ommatidia, lengths of antennal segments and the shape of epicranial plates are among other differences between these species.</p> <p>The wing of Trozocera albocciput n. sp. is similar to that of T. mexicana, although the size of R 2 is less in T. albocciput n. sp. Still, both of these species have an R 1 that is very short, which is an unusual state. The maxilla of these species are also similar but the maxillary base of T. mexicana is much more slender. The antefrons of T. albocciput n. sp. is broadly rounded between the antennal segments while it is narrow and more pointed in T. mexicana. There are many other minor differences in the shapes of thoracic plates and the shape of the head, but in general these two species probably have the most similarities.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03968794FFF3FF9BFF55F9EAFCF38469	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Davidson, J. Rawlins, S. Thompson, C. Young, pinned deposited in CMNH.</p> <p>Distribution: Known only from type localities in the Dominican Republic.</p> <p>Host: Unknown</p> <p>Etymology: The specific epithet macrognathus combines two Greek roots, macro- meaning large and -gnathus meaning jaw. This refers to the large maxilla and its palp, which is easily seen and very distinctive in this species.</p> <p>Discussion: While the maxilla of Triozocera macrognathus n. sp. is a distinctive character, there are other species in Triozocera with maxillae of somewhat similar shape. Triozocera buehrheimi has a maxilla with a long palp that is attached subapically to the maxillary base, although not as close to the center of the base as is seen in T. macrognathus n. sp. The maxillary base of T. buehrheimi is also much narrower, as is the palp, compared to that of T. macrognathus n. sp. The antefrons and epicranial plates of T. macrognathus n. sp. and T. buehrheimi are also similar in shape but the structure of the antenna is quite different, having slender segments in T. buehrheimi compared to the robust antenna of T. macrognathus n. sp. Shape of sclerites of the thorax are also distinctly different between these species. The wing of T. buehrheimi has R 2 and R 3 veins that are similar to those of T. macrognathus n. sp., but T. buehrheimi has both an MA 1 and CuP vein that are absent in T. macrognathus n. sp.</p> <p>The wing of T. macrognathus n. sp. is most like that of T. tecpanensis. Both of these species have similar radial veins, although not with the exact same shapes. The relative lengths of MA, CuA 1, and CuA 2 between these two species are also similar. However, the maxilla is quite different, with T. tecpanensis having a short, nearly apical maxillary palp. There are many other morphological differences in other parts of the body.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03968794FFF7FF97FF55FB84FB348165	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
