PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM 



One specimen, the type (No. 110662), was collected at Piedras 

 Negras, Guatemala. 



The Museum has two Mexican specimens, from Teapa, Tabasco 

 (No. 46589), and "Mexico'' (No. 7099). 



Duges (1892, pp. 100-101, pi. 5, colored) describes and illustrates 

 this species on the basis of a specimen from Motzorongo, Veracruz. 

 His specimen has 155 ventrals, 120 caudals, and a single anal, and 

 thus agrees with vinitor.
