The present species, though very closely allied to /. tolteca, may 

 be readily distinguished by its smaller size, more compact struc- 

 ture, usually considerably shorter tegmina and wings, more con- 

 stricted dorsum of the pronotum and somewhat deeper lateral 

 lobes of the same. In its compact structure, constricted dorsum 

 of the pronotum and lateral lobes with length less than depth, this 

 insect shows a very close affinity to /. holivari, which speci 's is, 

 however, much larger, longer in fact than tolteca, with long tegmina 

 and wings, while the lateral lobes of the pronotum in holivari differ 

 in having their length usually considerably less than their depth. 



-^ The specimens recorded as this species in the Biologia have been ex- 

 amined and all found to be correctly determined with the exception of the 

 individuals from the Volcan dc Chiriqui, Panama, which Ixdong instead 

 under Insara bolirari (Griffini).
