on the second ventral segment the punctuation is strong but 

 remote. 



In the <£ the metasternum is longitudinally concave with a 

 groove in the bottom, the second ventral segment has on the base 

 a small tubercle and on the median part of the posterior margin 

 a small brush of hairs compressed and bent forward; the last 

 segment is transversely depressed.

In the Schaufuss collection I found a specimen of this species 

 labelled " polita, King, ex Janson." This identification does not 

 seem to be correct. This so-called type of polita is a £, but 

 differs from the £ of polita, the £ of which has characteristic 

 dilatated anterior tibiae. 



In dubia the antennae are much shorter and thicker, the 5th 

 joint is more developed, and the 10th is decidedly transverse, 

 while it is nearly globose in polita,.
