Type locality: Brasilia, D. A. Pompon (MNHN). CORPORAAL 1950: 99. It is not known how many specimens were available to Chevrolat, and he did not select a holotype, therefore, I invoke Recommendation 73F of the ICZN (1999) and designate a lectotype for this nominal species.

D i a g n o s i s: Forebody black, one arcuate fascia at middle that extends from epipleural margin to humeral margin, one short transverse marking that traverses sutural margin, elytral apex testaceous; abdomen bicolored, visible sternites I testaceous, other visible sternites brown, except lower portion of pronotum and pronotal collar testaceous; antennae, pterothorax, and legs testaceous; elytra tricolored, basal 1/2 testaceous, apical half mostly black, each elytron with 2 white fasciae.

R e d e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 6.5 mm; width 1.3 mm. Form: As in Fig. 120 View Figs 120-123 . Head: Frons wrinkled, frons wider than length of antennal pedicel; EW/FW 25/17. Thorax: Pronotum slightly wrinkled at sides, coarsely punctate at middle, with 2 tumescenses, PW/PL 111/100; elytra with basal tumescence, disc depressed at middle, sculptured with striate, asetiferous punctures that extend slightly beyond elytral basal 1/2, elytral apex rounded (EL/EW 390/85); metathoracic femur gradually increasing in diameter to femoral apex. Abdomen: Aedeagus as in Fig. 35. View Figs 34-42

V a r i a t i o n: Size: Length 4.0-7.0 mm; width 1.0-2.0 mm. Other than body size, the available specimens are quite homogeneous.

N a t u r a l h i s t o r y: Specimens were collected from October through February, at altitudes that range from 200 to 960 m.

N o t e s: The lectotype was examined, but the description is based on a homotype specimen.
