context_page_description: Nagusta goedelii is a species of assassin bugs in the family Reduviidae.
context_section_description: Nagusta goedelii can reach a body length of about 12.5–16.3 mm (0.49–0.64 in). The slender and slightly hairy body is yellow to cinnamon-brown, but some darker specimen can be brown or reddish with greenish veins. The head is more than twice as long as the width and it has protruding ocelli. It shows two characteristic horn-like thorns just behind the antennae. Antennae show the same color as the body, with lighter rings. The posterior lobe of the head ends in a cylindrical neck. The pronotum is almost hexagonal and carries two broad and rounded apophyses in the shape of an obtuse cone. The diameter of the anterior femurs is at least three times the diameter of the mid and posterior ones, while the tibiae are all of the same thickness.
