Auriceps-group in a broad sense (so, including interrupta, intermedia, pusilla,... all the western small ones) lack the BASAL scutellar bristle.
And that one is most prominent visible here.

So it is not only about the number of bristles, but also about their location.

The apical, indeed, are small and easily overlooked.
