 & Four specimens. 



cWhat disposition should be made of specimens of this species from Ecuador and 

 Peru the paucity of material available prevents me frdm deciding. The single speci- 

 men examined (from Guayaquil, Ecuador) is decidedly larger than Colombian and 

 Panama examples but apparently is otherwise similar. References belonging hero are:
