This species agrees with 8. beata in having a white cross on the abdomen ; but, 

 among other differences, it may be known by the head being ferruginous. Smith 1 

 describes the cross on the abdomen as silvery, but Blake 2 says that in the Mexican 

 examples it is pale golden. It is probable that the Mexican and Brazilian insects do 

 not belong to the same species.
