  226-7. 
  [Claremont, 
  Calif.] 
  

  

  May 
  be 
  the 
  nymph 
  of 
  P. 
  reticulata 
  Baker. 
  If 
  adult 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  

   related 
  to 
  P. 
  marginata.

  Apparently 
  granulata 
  of 
  our 
  key 
  is 
  close 
  to 
  this 
  species, 
  which 
  

   however 
  has 
  much 
  larger 
  eyes 
  and 
  pilose 
  antennae; 
  our 
  species 
  may 
  

   prove 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  female 
  of 
  megalops.

   1898 
  [Capetillo, 
  Guatemala]. 
  

  

  Agrees 
  to 
  some 
  extent 
  with 
  our 
  icniseriata, 
  but 
  the 
  eyes 
  are 
  smaller, 
  

   and 
  the 
  posterior 
  lobe 
  of 
  head 
  not 
  sulcate 
  anteriorly.
