This species seems quite distinct, and is easily distinguished by its 

 small size from all except albirida. Cress., from which it may be known 

 by the more abundant pale markings.

 extending from cheeks to occiput, where it joins with a crescent 

 formed by a line from top of eye to occiput, then curving downward, 

 crescents uniting, the lower outside part of crescent is a thin line, so that 

 on one side there is a break, two large elongate spots on vertex (the
