is an eponym, based on the family name of E. Poirieri, whose team in Guyane has been collecting beetles using Flight Intercept Traps and capturing adults of many new species, such as this one.
<paragraphid="3CA936B7049EE3ABFF68A5475F84BBB5"pageId="22"pageNumber="101">With the attributes of the genus as described above and medium sized for the genus as it is presently understood; adults have castaneous integument, except anterior parts of mandible, baso-lateral corner of labrum, and clypeal suture piceous. Frons with evident rugae, punctulate. Occiput with evident rugae, punctulate. Pronotum nearly quadrate with lateral margins slightly emarginate to hind angle, hind angle about right, not dentate; base sparsely rugulose. Elytra broad and short, much wider than the width of pronotum across anterior third, and with only interneur 1 deeply engraved, 2-8 evident yet shallowly impressed, not punctate; margins behind humeri entire. Foreleg femur with slightly produced swelling on postero-ventral margin.</paragraph>
