In the P. Z. S. 1887 I have given a description of this species 

 under the name of Nodina subdilatata, Motsch., to which at that 

 time I referred the insect, on the authority of Baly in whose col- 

 lection the species bore that name. It is, however, very evident 

 that Motschulsky's description, short and insufficient as it is, could 

 not refer to this insect, as no indication is given of the character- 

 istic sculpture of the upper surface, nor has the species the slightest 

 resemblance to a Nodina.
