Hab. Mexico: vera cruz: Las Vigas, 8000 ft. (W. Schaus): MEXICO: Popocatepetl, 
8000 ft., VI. 1906 (W. Schaus). Fifteen specimens. 
The specimens from Popocatepetl are somewhat greyer than the Type, but they are 
not in very good condition and with such material could not be described as 
distinct.

It is possible that this may be the ¢ of tessellata Wlsm., of which the ? only is 
known—in any case they are very closely allied.
