The species is very easilj* distinguished from the others in this section 

 by the character given in the table. The serrations of the S antenuie 

 are also longer, and rather more like pectinations than in any of the 

 other species siiva 2}ccti7iicornis. 



One specimen only (the type) from Mr. Tei)per's collection.
