This species may possibly be the other sex of 

 ji, Sdiajferella ; I am induced to consider it as 

 distinct by the following circumstances, in which 

 it differs from that insect, and which seem more 

 than sexual characters. The down of its head an4 

 trunk, is white and thick for this family ; its an- 

 tennae, on their upper side, are black from the basQ 



inor^
