This is probably a distinct species but from a single ^ I do not 

 like to treat it as such. The tubercles and tegulae and scutellar 

 spots are ferrugineous not flavous and the hairs of the ventral seg- 

 ments are much shorter, the wings are more clouded and the 3rd 

 submarginal cell wider. At the same time the general form of the 

 insect is so similar to that of tripunctata that I think it safer not to 

 describe it as new
