Surface punctures circular to slightly elliptical, irregular, approximately 2 eye facet widths in size. Punctures smaller and more vaguely impressed anteriorly, and more densely distributed along lateral and posterior margins. Interspaces microreticulate with scale-like sculpturing, and approximately 0.5–1.0 puncture diameter apart. Antennal grooves present, convergent, and well-defined by medial and lateral carinae. Vertex flat to slightly concave with shallow depressions on each side of midline near frontoclypeal region. Temples present and prominent, extending slightly beyond posterior lateral edge of eye. Eyes prominent, finely faceted, interfacetal setae absent. Antennal club shape slightly ovate; club 0.30 length of segments 1–8 combined. Terminal antennomere shorter than previous two segments combined; apex of terminal segment acuminate. Scape “hunchbacked” with anterior margin distinctly convex and>2 times longer than to segment 2. Pedicel small, shorter than segment 3. Clypeolabral junction shallowly concave. Labrum with anterior margin broadly concave and bearing single median point. Maxillary palpi with terminal segment elongate and conical, longer than segments 1–2 combined. Labial palpi with terminal segment somewhat barrel-shaped and shorter than segments 1–2 combined. Mentum highly transverse with anterior margin broadly convex medially; surface punctuation consisting of fine minute punctures with some bearing short fine setae; interspaces smooth and shining no scale-like microreticulations present. Submentum with punctures similar to vertex of head with some bearing fine minute setae; surface sculpturing similar to that of mentum.</paragraph>

Prosternal process slightly expanded posterior to procoxae; in lateral view flat over procoxae, posterior margin with no vertical face. Mesonotum with scutellum hemispherical; pubescence, surface punctation and sculpturing similar to that on pronotum. Mesosternum flat, at same level as metasternum; surface punctation consisting of minute punctures anteriorly and laterally, but disc smooth; surface sculpturing consisting of oblique lines on lateral regions. Meso-metasternal junction broadly concave. Metasternum overall transverse (W:L = 1.54:1.00); metasternal disc surface punctation and sculpturing similar to pronotum with punctures 1–2 diameters apart. Postcoxal lines of mesocoxae present, slightly diverging from coxal cavities, and faintly apparent along medial 0.5 of mesocoxae; no definitive axillary space formed. Elytra short, exposing all of pygidium and last 2, and small portion of third, visible tergites; lateral margins narrowly explanate; serially punctuate/striate with punctures similar to those on pronotum, punctures within rows separated by 1–2 puncture diameters and puncture rows separated by 2–3 puncture diameters; sculpturing similar to pronotum with scale-like microreticulations present throughout.

This spot is well known to beetle collectors, as it was a place that Schaeffer, Barber, Wickham and undoubtedly other early collectors visited at the turn of 20th century when they made trips to Brownsville. During that time period, the grove was known as the “San Thomas Plantation” and is cited on labels by these early collectors variously as “Brownsville, S. Tom.” or “San Thomas.” Most of these early collections are currently housed at the Smithsonian Institution.
