of the femur), and in having this spot ex- 
tending onto the ventral aspect. The type 
differed from paradissimilis only in having 
two, rather than one, propleural bristles. 
Since the members of the dusmilis sub- 
group cannot be adequately distinguished in 
the female, the true relationship of leucomeres 
is unknown at present. 
As Rozeboom (1946: 590) pointed out, the 
two anterior scutal spots described by Giles 
from the type are actually the silvery scale 
patches on ppn. No scutal markings are ap- 
parent now on the type.
