Two specimens, a male and a female, obtained at the same 

 locality, although much smaller than the other species of the 

 genus with which I am acquainted do not seem to differ in 

 structural generic characters from Chrysolampra, they have how-

 specimens differ considerably from each other, as pointed out, 

 I have however but little doubt that they are the two sexes 

 of the same species.
