References

* On the female specimen, the outer lines are nearly interrupted at the transverse furrow.

Ca. Ent., XXX., 5, 1898, p. 138. These markings seem to be, in a rough way, continuation of the four longitudinal lines of the pronotum.

This seems to be the ventral projection of the shprt eighth segment.
