  This 
  differs 
  from 
  Cresson's 
  description 
  (based 
  on 
  a 
  female 
  from 
  

   Mexico) 
  in 
  that 
  the 
  scutellum 
  is 
  practically 
  all 
  yellow 
  instead 
  of 
  hav- 
  

   ing 
  "a 
  bilunate 
  line," 
  and 
  the 
  markings 
  are 
  yellow, 
  not 
  white. 
  Yet 
  I 
  

   can 
  hardly 
  doubt 
  that 
  the 
  species 
  is 
  the 
  same. 
  In 
  some 
  other 
  descrip- 
  

   tions, 
  Cresson 
  says 
  white 
  in 
  place 
  of 
  yeUow, 
  perhaps 
  the 
  result 
  of 
  

   working 
  by 
  artificial 
  light. 
  The 
  Honduras 
  form, 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  

   rich 
  yellow 
  scutellum 
  and 
  postscutellum, 
  may 
  be 
  called 
  variety 
  or 
  

   subspecies 
  xanthaspis.

  There 
  is 
  some 
  resemblance 
  to 
  A'', 
  aztecorum 
  CockereU, 
  from 
  Mexico, 
  

   but 
  that 
  is 
  much 
  larger 
  and 
  differs 
  in 
  the 
  details 
  of 
  coloration.
