( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1‑6 )

Etymology: Tucurui, a locality in the state of Pará, Brazil, were a large series was collected.

Male: Integument dark brown. Pubescence predominantly pale brown. Pubescence dark brown, in the pronotum a broad longitudinal belt each side of the middle and a narrow lateral stripe, surrounded by pale brown pubescence. Elytra densely covered with pale brown pubescence, surrounding three iregular larger spots dark brown, one in the base, other in the middle and a third in the apical half, all the surface with many minute spots of dark pubescence. Ventral face of the body and legs covered with grayish-brown pubescence.

Antennae two times the length of the body, attaining the apices of the elytra in the distal extremity of antennomere V; antennomere XI one and a half the length of the X. Prothorax with an acute lateral tubercle in the beginning of the posterior fourth; pronotum with a single line of punctures near the posterior border. Elytral apices obliquely emarginate, external angle projected in an acute spine, internal angle not projected. Metatarsomere I slightly longer than II+III. Urotergite V transversely truncate; urosternite V deeply semicircularly emarginate, the apical angles projected in acute spines and the central part with dense tuft of hairs.

Female: Antennae reaching the apices of the elytra in the middle of antennomere VI; ovipositor projecting 2.0 mm beyond the elytral apices; urotergite V acute; urosternite V transversely truncate in the apex.

Measurements (mm), male/female: Total length, 5,9-8,1/5,7-10,0; prothorax length, 1,2-1,6/1,1-1,9; prothorax width, 1,1-2,1/1,4-2,3; elytral length, 4,0-5,7/3,9-7,0; humeral width, 1,9-2,5/1,8-2,8.
