Trichacis laticornis Buhl, 2001

Trichacis laticornis Buhl, 2001: 34 . Original description.

Diagnosis. Diagnostic characters provided for T. laticornis are temple projection absent; notaulus fading out in anterior fourth; sharp hyperoccipital carina; OOL> LOL; distance between posterior ocellus and hyperoccipital carina shorter than diameter of posterior ocellus; occiput medially smooth and laterovertically striate-coriaceous; mid lobe of mesoscutum posteriorly distinctly blunt, very slightly longer than lateral lobe, nearly (but not quite) reaching base of mesoscutellum; mesopleural carina only visible in slightly less than anterior half of mesopleuron; Tl hardly as long as wide ( Buhl 2001, and pers. comm.).

The female holotype and the female paratype were collected in Honduras. They were deposited at the Museum of Zoology, Lund University, Sweden ( Buhl 2001).

Trichacis laticornis is close to T. hansoni but could be distinguished from the latter by its vertex laterovertically striate-coriaceous (coriaceous without striae in T. hansoni ).
