„Hab. Mexico, Orizaba, Cordoba (Sumichrast). 



A specimen from Sabo, Vera Paz (Champion), is perhaps 

 referable to this species, is diifering from the type merely in having 

 the bind coxae entirely black, and the tibiae black at the base, and 

 in having a small yellow spot on either side of the third abdominal 

 segment. It differs from varipes in having only a small triangulär 

 black mark on the vertex covering the ocelli, in the bind femora 

 being entirely black, except at the base, and in the bind coxae being 

 black; the metanotum behind is not so strongly striatede, and the 

 second segment is black at the base."
