It is to be noted that material from Peru is included with the original description, described as a ariety. We here select Senahu, Guatemala, as the type locality for mca. Consequently, should Peruvian material prove to be a distinct species, as is very probable, it will require a different name.

It is much to be regretted that the male genitalia were irtually undescribed, a brief and unsatisfactory description of the supraanal plate alone having been given.
The sizejs either somewhat variable in this insect, or more than one species of this type, with solidly black pronotum and antennae yellowish beyond the proximal portion, is represented in material before us. The material here recorded shows in tegminal length: cf, 8.7 to 8.9; 9, 8.3 millimeters. A female from Costa Rica shows for this dimension, 10.8; one from Nicaragua, 9.3 millimeters.
