Nothing more is known of this insect, to the description 

 of which the following note is appended by the author :

 appears to have sustained some injury to the pupa, as 

 its wings are not fully expanded. Possibly the unusual 

 shortness of the first segment may have been produced 

 by accident also, as in its other characters the species 

 agrees with those of the following section," i. c, with 

 pallidipes, &c.
