  This 
  species 
  is 
  allied 
  to 
  Arrhipis 
  lanieri 
  Guerin 
  but 
  differs 
  from 
  that 
  

   species 
  in 
  being 
  smaller 
  and 
  of 
  a 
  pale 
  reddisli-brown 
  color, 
  and 
  in 
  hav- 
  

   ing 
  the 
  hairs 
  on 
  the 
  elytra 
  shorter, 
  denser, 
  and 
  more 
  uniformly 
  dis- 
  

   tributed, 
  the 
  outer 
  segments 
  of 
  the 
  antenna 
  compact 
  and 
  as 
  wide 
  as 
  

   long, 
  and 
  the 
  prosternum 
  flattened 
  in 
  front 
  with 
  the 
  prosternal 
  proc- 
  

   ess 
  triangular 
  between 
  the 
  anterior 
  coxae 
  and 
  knife-shaped 
  behind 
  the 
  

   coxae.
