c5' . Closely resembles 31. antennata, Smith, of which it may be 

 only a variety : differs chiefly in having the median segment shorter, 

 more rounded posteriorly and more coarsely reticidate, in the

 sparsely punctured. In colour it differs in wanting the three 

 transverse bands of pale golden pubescence on the abdomen. auJ 

 in having the tegulae black, not red.
