Tlii.s species is founded on a specimen from Zacnaltipaii. Iliilalgo, sent me by Dr. 

 Santiago liernad. It is allied to the E. epistema I). & 15., but, has better claim to be 

 regarded as a species than that form. The head and nape are black above and below, 

 except a band of yellow from lip to lip crossing the middle of the occipital plates. 

 The body is red, and is marked by forty-one broadly oval black spots placed trans- 

 versely and separated by narrow interspaces of two and three scales length. The 

 red spots are not light-bordered, aud the red scales have no markings. The belly is 

 unspotted. The tail is of lighter color than the body, and is marked by seven black 

 rings.
