"The male has most of the tergum rufous, and the breast and 
coxae of a waxen color" (Norton). 
This apparently is a very rare species. The female type speci- 
men is the only one that I have seen, and, as far as I know, there 
are no records of any having been captured since Norton de- 
scribed the species in 1864.
