怎样认出它

Medium sized, with a yellow to brown colour1
Two stripes run down its main body section (mesosoma)1
Four distinct stripes run along the head (cephalothorax)1
Males have 22 to 26 pectinal teeth, and females have 20 to 231
Males are slimmer, while females have a broader mesosoma1

常被误认为： It is often confused with C. infamatus, which has a more rectangular pectinal plate with no dimple. It is also similar to C. tecomanus, but C. limpidus has a small subaculear tooth on the bulb of its stinger. Genetic research shows the two are separate species.1
