. Both species are only known from a very few specimens, mostly females. This did not allow a sufficient evaluation of the intraspecific variability, thus the distinction is based, as well as on a different pattern of colouration that I usually do not consider to be sufficient, upon a few other characters which, although weak, I judged to be consistent enough to allow the species to be distinguished. One of these characters is the lateral pronotal carina (
