Rh

A very small species differing from definita in the smaller and more convex eyes, more quadrate head, with the tempora more basally swollen and in its parallel abdomen; from repleta it differs in its smaller size, more slender form, relatively smaller head and prothorax, the former less transverse, narrower abdomen and shorter antennæ.

This species is distinguishable from the three preceding by the smaller head and more evident though feeble micro-reticulation, and, from loricula, by the decidedly longer elytra and feeble sculpture.
