 At the time this species was described I imagined that 

 the specimens having the elytra immaculate were typical 

 of the species ; and that those with the subapical spot 

 common to both elytra represented a variety. I have 

 since however obtained four specimens all of which have 

 the subapical spot ; so that this form (which agrees exactly 

 with Mr. Blackburn's description oi fernshawensis) appears 

 to be the typical one.
