In the secimd specimen, the dusky stri[ie ai ross the silvery base of abdomen was 

 divided along the meson by a narrow silituy spai-e and tin' yi'lhiuish white portion of the 

 ovijiositor was much shorter, less than two tliinls the leiigtli of the black proximal jiortion 

 {subequal to it in the type).
