  CRYPTANURA 
  SEPTENTRIONALIS, 
  new 
  species 
  

  

  Related 
  to 
  unifjceps 
  in 
  the 
  lack 
  of 
  the 
  angulation 
  of 
  the 
  humeral 
  

   margins 
  of 
  the 
  pronotum 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  color 
  pattern 
  of 
  the 
  abdomen, 
  but 
  

   distinct 
  from 
  that 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  black 
  and 
  white 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  

   and 
  in 
  many 
  details 
  of 
  structure 
  and 
  color.
