Original reference: Not available.
Comments: The specimen has been assigned to the genus
Nothocolus
Gordon
, based on the convex body, the dorsal pilosity of a single
type
, the head exposed anterior to eye, the antenna with 11 antennomeres, with compact club, extended near the posterior pronotal angle without reaching it, the abdominal postcoxal lines complete and recurved extending to mid-length of the first ventrite, the prosternal process not carinated, and the tarsal claw with sub-squared basal tooth. Among the species of the genus, it only bears a distant resemblance to
Nothocolus indefinitus
Gordon
, from which it differs by its smaller size, the presence of five dark spots on the pronotum, the absence of designs on the elytra, and the shape slightly more wide, with elytra wider than the pronotum at the base. It corresponds to undescribed species known only from a female specimen. Endemic for the island.
