A single specimen, labelled as above, has l)een sent, amongst

 in the following particulars from that species. l!^yes more obli- 

 que; scjuamose clothing more dense; proth(jrax more convex, its 

 outline (seen sideways) evenly curved; phjtra hleostate, with sides 

 less evenly and strongly crenulate. Type in Queensland Museum.
