These specimens are similar to a female before me from 

 Venezuela except the size is a little less and the pronotum is 

 uniformly yellowish while in the Venezuela specimen the 

 pronotum is marked by a broad irregular transverse stripe

 of the latter, and the disk margined before and behind with 

 blackish, narrower in front, and there extending downward 

 well onto the lateral lobes. The smaller size of the Peruvian 

 specimens together with the uniformly colored thorax may 

 indicate a new species but it does not seem well to character- 

 ize them as such at this time.
