Perhaps this species belongs to one of the allied forms, but as the two specimens are 

 easily recognizable, I have kept ^hem separate.

A small specimen. Weinkauff and Tryon have much doubt about the validity of this 

 species and really its characters are far from prominent, but I do not know to which species 

 I should unite it and so have kept it separate.
