Type specimens. ɗ holotype and Ψ allotype ( FMNH) collected by K. P. Schmidt, 16 February 1934, during the "Mandel Expedition" on Volcan Tajumulco, San Marcos Dept., Guatemala.

Diagnosis. Anterior gonopod coxal processes moderately narrow and gently curvilinear, well separated distad at level of concavity, latter vaguely demarcated. Anterior branch of posterior gonopod with relatively long subapical prolongation; tip of inner caudal branch (ib) not extending beyond tip of outer caudal branch (ob); lamina relatively small, not extending distad to base of solenomere or beyond margin of anterior branch, only vaguely joining gonopodal branches.

Distribution. Known only from the type locality.
