The long series of individuals of malabaricacollected by Elbel makes possible an expanded diagnosis and com-parison of this species with hirsuta. In most respects the two species are similar. The thoracic sternalplate is identical and the shape of the paratergal plates very lateral setae of the abdomen (those occurring off the tergal andsternal plates) are noticeably heavier in hirsuta, although a comparisonof actual specimens is necessary to satisfactorily show this form of the paratergal plates and their setation is highly variablein both species. Female malabarica always have
