Diagnostic Description

provided by Maldives and Laccadives LifeDesk

"They... have given me much trouble, but I have placed them here on account of the undoubted absence of pores from the radii, and because the mandibles agree best with Darwin's description for the species." (Borradaile, 1903: pg. 441)
