Type material of coloratus has not been examined, the above synonymies being 

 based on specimens determined by Dr. H. Priesner. The species has been found to 

 be common in North West Pakistan. Apart from the characters indicated in Table 

 I this species is readily distinguished from the florum group by the fact that antennal 

 IV is darker than antennal II. The hind margin of tergite eight is distinctly concave 

 and the teeth of the comb are long and distinct.
