\'an Duzec has placed thi> si)ecies close to abiioviinalis where it 

 properly belongs. It was largely because- of Stal's placing this close 

 to his sylz-cstris and Distant's incorrect figure of the type which led 

 to my error in redescribing it from blorida as co)ifratcrtuis. It is 

 slightly .shorter and narrower than abdomiiwiis, varying from fuscous 

 to ferrugineous in color and is al.so sparingly setose. The fourth 

 segment of the antenna is annulate with pale at base. The femora 

 though variable are not black but dirty yellow ferrugineous spotted 

 with ferrugineous. The fore femora have a double scries of spines 

 as described by Stal and myself for confratcrnus. I have seen no 

 specimen quite as large as indicated by Stal.

 Distant failing to recognize the species and because of the character 

 of the head redescribed it from Guatemalan material as Hcrtrus
