March and .May, 1902; two males, two females. 



These specimens are slightly smaller than the measurements given 

 for this form by Brunner, but as far as can be determined from his 

 brief description they represent this species. The measurements of a 

 Sapucay male and female are as follows :

In a way this species connects certain previously known species of

 dorsal abdominal segment of the male is apparently peculiar to the new 

 species. In possessing lateral lobes of the pronotum of equal depth
