  I 
  have 
  seen 
  Walker's

  a 
  second 
  specimen 
  

   labelled

  Very 
  similar 
  to 
  

   formosum 
  Kiefier, 
  with 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  compared 
  it, 
  but 
  

   the 
  scattered 
  punctures 
  on 
  the 
  scutum 
  are 
  more 
  marked 
  

   in 
  sinense, 
  the 
  pleurae 
  are 
  smooth 
  centrally, 
  the 
  abdomen 
  

   is 
  more 
  slender 
  and 
  with 
  very 
  few 
  hairs 
  (in 
  fonnosum 
  

   rather 
  densely 
  pubescent), 
  and 
  the 
  first 
  flagellar 
  joint 
  is 
  

   rather 
  longer, 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the
