Measurements (in millimeters) of only specimens known 



Color Notes. — The general color of the allotype and the longer 

 male is immaculate bice green/^ probably very intense in life. 

 The lateral carinae of the pronotum are sharply outlined in cream 

 buff and bordered on the inner side by very dark maroon purple; 

 so narrow is this border that the color is scarcely discernible with- 

 out the aid of a microscope. The other male before us is wood 

 brown in general coloration, the tegmina extremely faintly mottled 

 with darker. The general coloration shades to raw umber on the 

 limbs. The lateral carinae of the pronotum are outlined in paler 

 brown but not as sharply as in the green specimens. 



Distrihution. — The present species is known only from Cuernav- 

 aca, Morelos in central Mexico.

 entire dorsal surface of the abdomen immaculate. 



5" This name is chosen owing to the fact that the species is monotopic, 

 inhabiting the desert shrub Covillca Iridentata.
