Comments: It is not possible to separate these two species from photographs that do not clearly show a close-up of the antennae. <i>Feltia tricosa</i> (Lintner, 1874) male have long spinelike setae on each antennal segment which bend toward the apex creating a line parallel to the axis of the antenna. In <i>subgothica</iu>, the setae are straighter and more parallel to each other. See https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/paul_dennehy/archives/2024/09 .
