  Types. 
  — 
  Three 
  females, 
  all 
  collected 
  by 
  August 
  Busck, 
  the 
  holotype 
  

   on 
  March 
  29, 
  one 
  paratype 
  on 
  March 
  23, 
  1912, 
  at 
  the 
  type 
  locality, 
  and 
  

   a 
  paratyjje 
  on 
  June 
  3, 
  1007, 
  at 
  Tabernilla, 
  Canal 
  Zone. 
  They 
  are

   the 
  U. 
  S. 
  National

  The 
  paratypes 
  are 
  slightly 
  smaller 
  than 
  the 
  type 
  but 
  otherwise 
  

   much 
  the
