Ceratophya scolopus

Diagnosis
This species is unique among Ceratophya - species in the presence of a strong basoventral tooth on the first tarsomeres of all tarsi. Furthermore, it's the only known Ceratophya - species with an almost black abdomen (except for the yellow posterior margin of tergite 4). Notes. When Shannon (1927) described this species, he mentioned the similarity in general appearance to the stingless-bee mimics which he described in the subgenus Ubristes. Nonetheless, he did not place it in Ubristes, as Thompson et al. (1976) did. Examination of the type revealed that it has all the characters of the genus Ceratophya. The specimen is a little dirty and greasy, so colours and pilosity are not always easy to assess.
