Comments.
This species can by distinguished from other Nearctic
Amarochara
by the following combination of characters: head and pronotum with weak microsculpture; first segment of metatarsus about as long as second to fourth segments combined; punctation of abdominal tergites sparse (
Assing 2002
,
2007
). The shape of the median lobe of the aedeagus is also distinctive in lateral view.
All specimens of this species with collection data were collected in forested reserves using flight intercept traps (
Assing 2002
, this study) but nothing further is known about its biology.
