Of this species Mr. Bates remarks - " This is a distinct species, offering precise characters in the thoracic spines, &c. I found a vast number on one occasion in a low meadow, carrying away fragments of fallen fruit; the whole were nearly of uniform size; I found none of the large-headed individuals."
