Tliis species, liv far tin- must common of .ill tin- 1 b urn iptera of Floris- 

 sant, is l.-ast heavily marked aim MILT all those Palecphorae which show 

 plainly the inferior snhapical spot. This is usually present, and .-ometimes. 

 though very rarely, ilistinct. while the other spots are almost wholly 

 obscured or appear as clouds, except, indeed, the superior costal spot, which 

 appears as a thickening of the base of the costa slightly enlarged distallv. 

 and is rarely absent, usually tolerably distinct, almost always slender, and 

 the costa is sometimes a little thickened beyond the enlargement at the 

 normal spot. The species is one of the largest in sixe. but vnly to a slight 

 degree.
