Front tibia with inner margin smooth, not serrate. Hind tibia straight along outer margin. Tarsi with ventral pilose pads limited to narrow band across apex of tarsite 3. Tibiae with subapical tooth large, similar in size and form to apical tooth. Aedeagus as in figs. 17–18. Material examined. Holotype : Mexico . Hidalgo, Zacualtipan, Hoge ( BMNH ).

Biology. Unknown. Comments. This species was erroneously placed as a synonym of the introduced Polytus mellerborgii (Boheman) in O’Brien & Wibmer (1982 : 221). It is quite clearly a species of Eucalandra and here transferred to this genus.
