  As 
  stated 
  above, 
  the 
  National 
  Museum 
  male 
  colype 
  of 
  iiwxicana 
  

   (Cre.s.son) 
  belongs 
  to 
  this 
  species. 
  A 
  female, 
  also 
  from 
  Mexico, 
  from 
  

   the 
  C. 
  F. 
  Baker 
  collection 
  is 
  also 
  before 
  me. 
  

  

  The 
  female 
  differs 
  from 
  that 
  of 
  tncx-i/iana 
  in 
  structure 
  principally 
  

   as 
  follows: 
  Occipital 
  carina 
  not 
  sinuate 
  below; 
  postocellar 
  line 
  nearly 
  

   as 
  long 
  as 
  ocellocular 
  line; 
  frontal 
  horns 
  longer 
  and 
  more 
  acute; 
  

   sculpture 
  at 
  middle 
  of 
  proi)odeum 
  irregularly 
  transverse 
  rugosity; 
  

   ovipositor 
  and 
  sheath 
  distinctly 
  .shorter; 
  areolet 
  shorter, 
  with 
  recur- 
  

   rent 
  interstitial.
