Distribution. — The species is only known from Durango, Mexico. 



Remarks. — Of the material known belonging to this most interest- 

 ing and beautiful species, one adult female has been badly damaged 

 in the past by insect pests, so it has not been considered in the previous 

 description. The nymphs are not perfect, but there can be no 

 question of their identity with the adult females. 



Specimens Examined. — 7; 4 females, 2 male nymphs, 1 female 

 nymph.
