Bab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (B. B. Smith). 



A very peculiar species, not only by its rather coriaceous elytra, but principally by 

 the form of the lateral lobes of the pronotum and of that of the anal appendages, these 

 latter being very different in shape from those of the other members of the genus. 

 The male only is known.
