1. 6". February, 1905. 



This specimen differs from Brunner's interpretation * of the species 

 in that the Hmbs are solid black, the coxae finely margined with pale 

 yellowish, the face without the transverse line dorsad of the labrum, 

 and the antennse with a narrow annulus instead of having the terminal 

 portion all yellowish. When compared with the descriptions of other 

 species of the genus the individual in hand agrees closer with that of 

 elegans, differing in the color characters here given.
