A single male specimen only was found of this species,

 colour and especially by tlie peculiar hind tibise, which arc 

 no doubt characteristic of this sex only. They recall those 

 of the male ChalcoiiletJiis to Avhich this insect otherwise

 Trinidad, of which I have not seen the male, but the 

 female has the hind legs of the normal type.

 rather larger and the anterior tarsi are in both sexes 

 distinctly three-toothed, nor is there any perceptible
