The Dominican
Republic records include the first known male of the species (
Fig. 1
). The male differs from females in the following aspects: The pronotum is covered by a much denser vestiture of golden pubescence, nearly concealing the middle glabrous callus (
Fig. 5a
) (less pubescent and with larger glabrous middle callus in females,
Fig. 5b
); and the antennae, with the last antennomere distinctly longer than the penultimate, extend to the elytral apex (the terminal antennomere is subequal to the penultimate and the antennae are distinctly shorter than the elytra in females).
