Size: moderately large, 18.1 mm in length, 4.4mm in width. Other specimens examined. The male Holotype is the only specimen I saw. Specific epithet. The specific epithet, granodeoro , is used as a noun in apposition, and refers in Spanish to a "golden seed," in reference to the brassy glint of the elytra and to the type locality. FIGURE 19.
