There is also a somewhat mutilated female specimen before me, 

 which belongs to this group. It is quite strongly pubescent and 

 somewhat hirsute, has the apex of the hind femora more robust. It 

 comes from " Bom Fini, Bahia, Brazil, at Fazenda de Amaratu, Nov.

 but have so labeled it for the present.
