Diagnosis
Frontal stria continuous across front and connected to epistomal striae, epistoma flat; fourth dorsal elytral stria complete and arched to suture; inner subhumeral elytral stria usually present only in apical half; fifth and sutural elytral striae weak, often just series of punctures, but generally present in apical one-third; elytral ground punctures sparser and markedly reduced laterad fourth elytral stria; mesometaventral stria arched forward to about one-half from mesoventral margin; lateral metaventral stria reaching mesometaventral margin, but distinctly mediad junction of mesometaventral and postmesocoxal striae; inner postmetacoxal striae somewhat variable, but never forming a complete arc across anterior margin of abdominal ventrite 1; abdominal ventrites 2–4 completely lacking apical marginal stria; aedeagus of moderate width, more strongly tapered basally than apically, with ventral curvature only marked nearer apex.
Distribution
This species is restricted to Central America, from southern Mexico to Costa Rica.
