the prothorax and the pointed, vertical, exposed apical process of the 

 hypopygium separate it from them. 



Types: Holotype, male, Dona Juana State Forest, Villalba, Puerto 

 Rico, November 3, 1952, J. A. Ramos collector, USNM 63087. 

 Paratype, male, from Aibonito, Puerto Rico, June 1-3, 1915, collector 

 unknown, AMNH F3553. This is the specimen identified as longula 

 by Barber (1939). I am inclined to believe that this latter species 

 does not occur in Puerto Rico.
