This description is based on that of Monsieur Herve-Bazin, 

 which was made from a single S and a single $ from Kodaikanal,

 Herve-Bazin's drawings. Types in his collection.

 in having the facial bump small and rounded ; from Moss'i and 

 robinsoni in having the scutellum red, and from monticola in 

 having the pubescence of the thorax and scutellum wholly reddish, 

 and in other respects.
