HOLOTYPE : Gender not known. Type locality: Guyana ( MNHN ). A d d i t i o n a l m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d ( Fig. 91 ): In addition to the holotype , I examined one specimen from: Brazil : Estado do Amazonia , Amazon, Bates. Specimens are deposited in: BMNH and MNHN . D i a g n o s i s: Castaneous, except each elytron with 3 yellow spots, one at basal margin, one premedial, proximal to epipleural suture, one oblong postmedial, proximal to sutural margin. R e d e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 8.5 mm ; width 2.0 mm. Form: As in Fig. 102, 103 . Head: Cranium finely punctate; frons wider than length of antennal pedicel; EW/FW 50/20. Thorax: Pronotum finely punctate, with 2 tumescenses, with fissure at middle ( PW /PL 100/150); elytral disc sculptured with striate asetiferous punctures that extend lightly beyond elytral basal 1/2, elytral apex truncate, outer edge with spine ( EL /EW 380/60); metathoracic femur gradually increasing in diameter to femoral apex. Abdomen: Aedeagus as in Fig. 28. V a r i a t i o n: The available non-type specimen differs from the holotype in the shape of the elytral postmedial yellow spot. This spot is slightly oblique in the non-type specimen, whereas it is transverse in the holotype . N o t e s: I examined the holotype , but the description is based on a homotype.
