Stenotarsus obtusus
Gerstaecker (1858:310)
Diagnosis.
Length 5.0–6.0 mm; width 3.5–4.0 mm. Body redorange, broadly oval; elytra with distinct coarse punctures near the humerus; male with spine on metatrochanter (
Fig. 12
), metasternum with a circular depression at anterior margin, hind tibia curved with internal row of tubercules, genitalia simple (
Fig. 16
), relatively short and broad.
Remarks.
Gorham (1890)
identified specimens from
Panama
as this species, based on Gerstaecker’s description. We studied material from several South American countries (FSCA). Females were indistinguishable from those of
S. ovalis
,
or the red specimens of
S. panamanus
,
except by association with a male.
