This small species is very closely allied to conir/era^ ]>]., 

 and innotahifis, Ob., but the great height of the clypeiis will 

 serve to distinguish it from the latter, while the large conical 

 prominence on the palpi of the former will prevent any con- 

 fusion with it. 



A single adult male was taken in Newtown Moss, Penrith, 

 in April 1893, by the author.
