After an examination of Maskell's slides of the variety described 

 by him the writers are of the opinion that it is clearly a distinct 

 species, the differences pointed out by Maskell in his description as 

 well as a number of others being quite pronounced. The generic 

 diagnosis which follows has been modified to include this species as 

 well.
