Taxonomic Note
Mochlosoma illocale was described by Charles H. Reinhard in 1958. The Mochlosoma is classified within the tribe Dexiini, Dexiinae. Members of this genus are morphologically similar to other Dexiinae but can be distinguished by specific characters of the male terminalia and , though detailed diagnostic features for M. illocale specifically have not been widely published in accessible literature.
Data Limitations
This is represented by extremely few records: GBIF shows minimal occurrence data, and iNaturalist has only one observation. The original description in Reinhard (1958) remains the primary source of morphological information. No subsequent taxonomic revisions or biological studies have been identified in major databases.
