( Figure 6 View FIGURES 1 – 7. 1 )
Type specimens. Holotype 3: Nicaragua, Granada, Domitila, 0 7–0 9.06.2004, leg. Eric van den Berghe und Heinz Dauber ( MCCI). Paratypus: 3, idem ( CMNG); 1 Ƥ, idem ( CHAH).
Description of holotype. Length 5.8 mm. Body narrowed, dorsal color bronze. Vertex, between eyes, ¼ of width of anterior margin of pronotum, furrowed in middle. Frons dark green, with white pubescence at base. Clypeus without transverse carina. Antennae short, serrate from antennomere 4. Pronotum wider anteriorly, regularly narrowed posteriorly, with posterior angles obtuse. Disc convex, but slightly furrowed in middle. Sculpture with transversal, thin and numerous striae. Ivory pubescence at sides. Premarginal carinula is broken in two parts: posterior rectilinear, divergent in respect to lateral margin, as long as 1/3 of pronotum, and anterior parallel to lateral margin, joining anterior angle. Lateral carinae joined at base. Scutellum transversely carinate. Elytra with apices rounded and microdenticulate. Disc with two (1+1) lines of perisutural ivory colored pubescence from base to 3/5 of length. Two (1+1) pubescent spots of same color at 4/5 of length. Ventral side darker, with spots of pubescence at base of ventral sterna. Pubescence also at metepisterna and metecoxa. Anterior claws bifid, with internal spur shorter; median and posterior mucronate. Metatarsus as long as metatibia; basal article as long as sum of following four (1=2+3+4+5); second metatarsomere as long as sum of following two (2=3+4). Aedeagus black, sclerotized, with parameres fusiform anteriorly and median lobe rounded (figure 15).
Description of paratype. Length 5.8 mm. No differences are observable from holotype.
Etymology. After incomplete stripe of perisutural pubescence.
Comments. By the pronotum shape together with the elytral pubescence, this species is unique in the Central America fauna.
