I originally considered that Zanessa Kirk., might include only 

 sanguinolenta from Ceylon, but more material has altered my 

 opinion. The description given of Zanessa (vol. ii, p. 432) and 

 the figure (vol. ii, fig. 278) will suffice, but stress must be laid on 

 the lateral margins of the pronotum which are obliquely straight 

 and not concavely sinuate as in Zanessa, the head is also shorter, 

 broader, and not angularly narrowed anteriorly.
