(Figs. 45 – 47)

Hylobothynus obesus Ohaus, 1910: 678 .

Diagnosis. Endrödi (1985) differentiated Hylobothynus obesus using the basal margin of the pronotum strongly bordered, which is not bordered at its base in H. columbianus . Furthermore, the pygidium of H. obesus is sparsely punctate on the lateral angles, whereas it is more punctate in H. columbianus . The parameres of H. obesus are shorter and wider (Figs. 46–47) than those of H. columbianus (Figs. 41–42).
