  This 
  species 
  runs 
  to 
  the 
  division 
  of 
  our 
  key 
  including 
  apiculata 
  

   and 
  aracataca. 
  Dohrn's 
  figure 
  shows 
  that 
  the 
  hypopygium 
  is 
  not 
  

   annular 
  with 
  a 
  large 
  hook 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  former, 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  sixth 
  tergite 
  

   projects 
  far 
  beyond 
  hypopygium 
  which 
  is 
  not 
  true 
  of 
  the 
  latter.

  Closely 
  related 
  to 
  analis, 
  " 
  last 
  dorsal 
  segment 
  scarcely 
  petiolate." 
  

   This 
  indicates 
  that 
  the 
  species 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  compared 
  with 
  aracataca 
  and 
  

   may 
  possibly 
  be 
  identical.
