  This 
  specios 
  resembles 
  wynunii 
  but 
  can 
  be 
  distinguished 
  

   by 
  its 
  blacker 
  color 
  and 
  fewer 
  abdominal 
  setae 
  in 
  the 
  female 
  and 
  by 
  

   the 
  smaller, 
  simpler 
  appearing 
  genitalia 
  in 
  the 
  male. 
  It 
  comes 
  close 
  

   to 
  tol'i/oensii* 
  Kinoshita 
  (see 
  8chmitz, 
  in 
  Lindner, 
  llKiS) 
  but 
  lacks 
  the 
  

   mesopleural 
  bristle 
  and 
  scattered 
  propleural 
  setae 
  of 
  the 
  latter.
