  middle." 
  In 
  malinics 
  the 
  ocellar 
  triangle 
  is 
  somewhat 
  acute, 
  but 
  the 
  

   posterior 
  ocelli 
  are 
  only 
  slightly 
  closer 
  to 
  each 
  other 
  than 
  to 
  the 
  front 
  

   ocellus 
  and 
  the 
  hairless 
  streak 
  is 
  not 
  interrupted. 
  One 
  inconspicuous 
  

   but 
  seemingly 
  constant 
  character 
  distinguishing 
  malinus 
  from 
  all 
  

   other 
  species 
  examined 
  is 
  that 
  the 
  clypeus 
  has 
  a 
  very 
  narrow 
  brownish 
  

   or 
  blackish 
  anterior 
  border 
  which 
  constitutes 
  a 
  nearly 
  straight 
  and 
  

   continuous 
  dark 
  line 
  between 
  the 
  bases 
  of 
  the 
  mandibles.
