According to Selander & Vaurie (1962) and a map I have seen, this village is located at ca. 2,400m (8,000 ft) elevation in Mexico state just inside the border with Puebla, around 16 km (10 mi) N of Ixtaccíhuatl Volcano; coordinates are 19° 21' N, 98° 40' W.

Diagnosis. Apical expansions of anterior gonopod coxal processes slightly curvilinear; anterior projection of posterior gonopod with relatively short apical prolongation, slightly extending beyond level of basal margin of structure; caudal process terminating at level of solenomere.

Distribution. Eastern Mexico state and possibly the border region of Puebla to the inner border region of Veracruz, a distance of ca. 160 km (100 mi). The following unreported samples are available:
