Hab. Mexico (Saussure). 



This species is included in this genus on the authority of Stal as it 

 is unknown to me. I am not inclined to think it is synonymous with 

 Admirabilis, as has been suggested by Thomas and Bruner, Ijecause 

 Stal probably knew the species and considered it distinct, and because 

 there is at least one character given by Saussure which can not apply 

 to Admirabilis. It is true that there is evidently a misconstruction in 

 the text at the point referred to (pronoti carince tres sulci 2 sejunctis), 

 but whether the figure 2 be translated by a cardinal as sulci would 

 require, or by an ordinal as Thomas has assumed, the difficulty remains 

 that in Admirabilis the median carina is cut but once and that very 

 distinctly by the third sulcus.
