This species very closely resembles the preceding, and may 

 perhaps be only a variety of it ; it differs in the lateral angles of 

 the thorax not being prominent, and in the scutellum being more 

 pointed and elongated. Antennae prismatic ; basal joint fulvous, 

 with the apex brown; second joint reddish orange, with the base 

 and apex reddish brown ; remainder wanting.
