Pangaeus (Pangaeus) piceatus Stål

Diagnosis. Among the species with one setigerous puncture on the submargin of the head and one on the costa, males of this species may be recognized by the lack of ventral, subbasal angulation on the hind tibia coupled with the presence of but four spines on the postero-ventral margin of the posterior tibia.

Head. Anterior outline an elongate semicircle; juga little longer than tylus; surface shining, usually with weak, radiating rugae; rostrum extended between middle coxae. Pronotum with anterior margin doubly emarginated; lateral margin straight to weakly convex on basal two-thirds, with submarginal row of four or five setigerous punctures; transverse impression distinct across full width, weaker at middle; anterior lobe impunctate except for occasional small punctures laterally; posterior lobe with few scattered punctures on anterior half of middle area. Scutellum disc shining, with several widely scattered punctures. Clavus and corium polished; clavus with one row of punctures; corium obsoletely or not punctuate except for punctures in one complete row and usually one partial row paralleling claval suture.
