Hab. Mexico}? (Bilimek, in Mus. Vind. Ces.), Milpas in Durango, Presidio de 
Mazatlan (Forrer), Sierra Madre de Tepic (Aichardson), Dos Arroyos, Rincon, and 
Chilpancingo in Guerrero (H. H. Smith); Guatemata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
Not uncommon in Western Mexico, whence we have received many specimens. In 
this species the antenne, the anterior margin of the pronotum, the corium, clavus, 
rostrum, and legs are constantly black or blackish, and the membrane dark. The 
posterior lobe of the pronotum is usually black, with the base sanguineous or testaceous, 
the pale colour sometimes extending forwards along the middle and towards the sides, 
so as to leave two vitte on the disc. The males have the eyes large and prominent, the 
third joint of the antenne much thickened for two-thirds of its length, and the terminal 
genital segment armed with a long, upwardly curved spine at the apex. <A male from 
Dos Arroyos is figured.

The single (3 ) specimen from Guatemala differs from the type ( 2 ), now before me,

posterior lobe unarmed; the spines on the head are aiso a little shorter than in the
