  Remarks. 
  — 
  The 
  female 
  differs 
  from 
  hirmtus 
  by 
  its 
  weaker 
  abdomi- 
  

   nal 
  pubescence 
  and 
  stronger 
  transverse 
  dark 
  bands 
  on 
  the 
  abdomen. 
  

   It 
  is 
  almost 
  identical 
  with 
  buccaUs 
  Malloch 
  in 
  the 
  female 
  but 
  males 
  are 
  

   readily 
  distinguishable 
  by 
  the 
  genitalia. 
  The 
  male 
  differs 
  from 
  

   hirsutus 
  chiefly 
  in 
  the 
  stronger 
  frontal 
  bristles 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  genitalia. 
  

   It 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  closely 
  related 
  buccalis 
  Malloch 
  (1912) 
  and 
  from 
  

   any 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  described 
  from 
  the 
  Bismarck 
  Archipelago 
  by 
  

   Schmitz 
  (1929a, 
  pi. 
  1) 
  by 
  the 
  genitalia 
  processes 
  mentioned 
  in 
  the
