 segment is longer, tlie base of the second dorsal segment is 

 without longitudinal striae, and the wings are somewhat 

 longer and darker. It is more sparsely punctured than 

 either T. montezuma, Cam., or T. parallela, Sm , and the 

 apical joint of the flagelluni in the hitter species is much 

 stouter.
