This insect is of larger size and somewhat heavier build than 

 either of its close allies, /. tolteca and /. intermedia. From the 

 former species it may be further separated by the constricted 

 dorsum of the pronotum (which is of the same type as that of inter- 

 media, though somewhat more expanded caudad), by the lateral 

 lobes of the same with length less than depth and by the longer 

 and wider tegmina. From intermedia the present species may be 

 further separated by the lateral lobes having their length notice- 

 ably, instead of slightly, less than their depth, and the fact that, 

 while intermedia has the smallest tegmina and wings of the three
