Field Marks:
BIN group BOLD:AAA5200 includes a USNMENT01523223, a paratype of buscki.
Similar Species:
  • Lacinipolia buscki is sympatric though out the range of strigicollis and is apparently best separated by DNA barcode. Dissection may not be conclusive. Selman (1975) found no differences in genitalia and treated the two species as synonyms.
  • Pinned specimens of related species. (Hint: select View by Region on the related species page.)
Synonymy: Polia buscki Barnes & Benjamin, 1927
