Four paratypic females have been examined in addition to 
the type. One specimen is slightly below the average size of 
the remainder of the series, but otherwise no points of differ- 
ence are noted.

but differing in the more produced ventro-caudal angle of the 
lateral lobes of the pronotum, the much more recurved and in-

plate of the same sex and the slightly greater size.
