Diagnosis.
Length
5.5–6.1 mm
; width
3.5–4.1 mm
. Body oval, usually black, with only the elytral margins and suture red, but some specimens mostly red; pronotal setae purpleblack; male metafemur with a basal spine, metatibia narrow, with internal row of tubercles (
Fig. 11
).
Remarks.
Based on various comments and discrepancies between localities cited in
Gorham (1890)
,
Arrow (1920)
, Blackwelder (1945), and Strohecker (1953), there is confusion as to the identity of specimens from southern Central America. Blackwelder (1945) states this taxon is in
Panama
, thus it is included here. Specimens studied were from
Mexico
and Central America (FSCA).
