Saussure, when describing /. felina, remarked that it was 
possibly a variety only of H. awreola, Klug. This I think 
very likely, the only structural differences between lis 
aureola and Hlis felina are that the former insect has 
the head above highly polished, smooth and shining, the 
thorax above also smooth with only one or two punctures ; 
Elis felina, on the contrary, has the head and thorax above 
closely punctured, dull and opaque. ‘The males assigned 
by me to the latter form agree very closely with Saussure’s 
brief description.
