Similar Species: Pinned specimens of related species. (Hint: select View by Region on the related species page.) Synonymy: • Martyringa ravicapitis Hodges, 1960 Taxonomic Notes: Martyringa ravicapitis Hodges, 1960, treated as a synonym of Martyringa xeraula in Lvovsky (2003) apparently without justification and seemingly dubious (J-F Landry, pers. comm., 4/13/2017), is restored as the valid species.
