  differs

  having 
  

   apical

  Hind

  Although 
  dkulenia 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  more 
  common 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  genus, 
  

   its 
  exact 
  status 
  is 
  evidently 
  still 
  confusing. 
  It 
  was 
  first 
  figured 
  by 
  

   kStoU,^ 
  but 
  either 
  the 
  figure 
  is 
  erroneous 
  or 
  diaderrm 
  is 
  unknown 
  today. 
  

   The 
  hind 
  wing 
  in 
  the 
  figure 
  is 
  unlike 
  that 
  of 
  any 
  known 
  species, 
  and 
  

   the 
  black 
  color 
  includes 
  a 
  much 
  larger 
  area 
  than 
  in 
  typical 
  diaderna. 
  

   The 
  figure 
  by 
  Drury 
  ° 
  (as 
  annata) 
  shows 
  a 
  much 
  more 
  typical 
  pat- 
  

   tern, 
  while 
  the 
  photographic 
  reproduction 
  by 
  Costa 
  Lima 
  ^ 
  is 
  dmderna. 
  

   as 
  accepted 
  by 
  most 
  workers 
  today. 
  

  

  The 
  general 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  varies 
  from 
  light 
  buff 
  to 
  dark 
  shades 
  

   of 
  brown 
  and 
  sometimes 
  even 
  appears 
  greenish
