„Hab. Costa Rica, Cache (Rogers). 



From the typical J. elegantula this species differs in having 

 the bind coxae and trochanters black, except at the extreme apices; 

 the four anterior femora black, except at the base and apex (ele- 

 gantula has the „tips of them behind" only); all the tibiae black 

 at the base, the front pair lined also with black behind; and the 

 metanotum cau scarcely be called „longitudinally rugulose". It is 

 more slender than the above-described variety from Sabo, with which 

 it agrees in the amount and arrangement of the black; but the tibiae 

 are distinctly white, the two basal segments of the abdomen pallid 

 lemon-white, and the metanotum behind is not so much excavated."

 früheren Diagnose; wahrscheinlich muss es „tibiis" statt „tarsis" 

 heissen und ist die schwarze Basis und Spitze ausgelassen, welche in 

 der Beschreibung angegeben ist.
