  This 
  species 
  differs 
  from 
  Peritropoides 
  annulatus, 
  new 
  species, 
  by 
  

   its 
  color 
  and 
  structure 
  of 
  head. 
  Its 
  trivial 
  name 
  is 
  derived 
  from 
  the 
  

   four 
  brown 
  spots 
  to 
  be 
  seen 
  on 
  clavus 
  and 
  internal 
  angles 
  of 
  cuneus.
