Species concept. Based on Klug (1825) original description and figure, and photograph (Fig. 15-16) of the female holotype kindly sent to the author by Joachim Willers of the Humboldt Museum, which compares reasonably well, given the variation in color of this species, with the male specimen (Fig. 17-18) identified by J. Melzer, kindly lent to the author by the MZSP.

Measurements (mm). 1 male: total length, 16.10; length of prothorax, 2.60; width of prothorax, 2.10; length of elytra, 9.75; width at humeri, 2.60.

Specimen analyzed. BRAZIL, Minas Gerais, Passa Quatro, Faz. dos Campos, male, 28.I.1920, J.F. Zikán leg. (MZSP).

Distribution. Klug stated that his specimen came from Brazil. The author believes the distribution of this species to be centered on Brazil (MG), where Zikán collected his specimen; and records from southern Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay require verification.
