Having before me, besiiles the tj-pe (from Belize), si.\ adult males from Guatemala, I am unable to detect 

 any dilTerencea of coloration distinguishing this species from P. tegtacen^ other than those given in the above 

 synopsis. Only one specimen is as dull colored a« the typo, while two are almost identical in general colora- 

 tion with a typical adult male of P. tmlafen from Veragun.
