Ornidia major Curran
Figs. 1, 11 & 15












Taxonomy: Ornidia major is distinguished from obesa by its larger size (see Val 1972), more or less divided preapical scutellar depression and the presence of short prescutellar bristles; major differs from aemula and whiteheadi as noted under those species. Earlier authors, such as Williston (1891), misidentified major as obesa.




Distribution: Mexico (Vera Cruz)*, Guatemala*, Costa Rica*, Panama*, Colombia*, Venezuela*, Ecuador*, Peru*, Brazil*, Bolivia* and Paraguay*.
