Dear Stelfox, 
Your specimen arrived safely and I 
have carefully examined it. I thinx it 
must be an aberrant specimen of 
melanocera. I have seen other examples 
of this species with swollen temples and 
I amsorry not to have allowed for this 
in my revision. The distribution of 
hairs on terg-lte (2+3) is as in melano- 
cera not vaenia, T notice there is a 
trace of rugosity at base of t.(2+3) but 
I find this occasionally in specimens 
that T have called melanocera.

I will try to get your other box 
bacic to you before the end of the month. 
Yours sincerely.
