There is a variety of this species in Capt. Parry’s collection, in 
which the dark markings on the elytra have almost vanished, 
merely leaving a black spot on the shoulder and a few irregular 
spots of dark brown about the base and apex. This species has 
the third, fourth and fifth joints of the antennz shorter and more 
robust than in the typical species.
