Smith's Beschreibung scheint mir zu oberflächlich und lücken- 

 haft, also schwer deutbar; so findet sich z. B. über das Flügelgcäder 

 und über die Färbung der Legebohrerklappen keine nähere Bemer- 

 kung, und die Bemerkungen bezüglich der Körperskulptur sind kei- 

 neswegs ausreichend, um diese Art in bestimmter "Weise von anderen 

 näherstehenden Arten zu scheiden.
