Remarks

This species was recently described by Moctezuma et al. (2017). To the original description we add that the elytral striae are impressed basally as distinct fossae; right lobe of endophallite copulatrix is more developed than left lobe; right lobe of endophallite copulatrix obtusely triangular, arched superiorly; left lobe of endophallite copulatrix lobed, strongly reduced; central ridge more developed than central column ( Fig. 1A). For the female, the trituberculate cephalic carina with nearly aligned, similar sized, conical tubercles; frons punctures scarce, almost effaced; pronotal surface distinctly punctate; pronotal process trituberculate with a posterior concavity; all pronotal tubercles rounded, with middle tubercle slightly more developed and projected frontally than lateral tubercles; posterior pronotal midline distinctly impressed.
