Smith: »d". Difters in having the basal Joint of the antennae white in front, a 

 minute transverse spot above the clypeus, a line on each side of the clypeus, labrum 

 a spot at the base of the mandibles white; posterior tibiae are also yellowish white; in 

 other respects o" resembles the $. Ep. cajennae is certainly a variety of this species; 

 I have compared the tvpe specimens with others, which have the abdomen black and 

 yellow. I have also seen intermediate exemples.
