Holotype: Male, ‘ ECUADOR, Baron’, without other data (MNHN).
Diagnosis: Body oval, widest in elytral midlength, basal half of elytra laterally yellow (Fig. 3E), antennae with slender lamellae, their length decreasing distally, posterior corners of pronotum obtuse.
Description: Body dark brown, only basal half of each elytron laterally yellow and luminous spots on sternum VIII and pygidium pale. Head with small eyes, interocular distance 1.6× longer than eye diameter. Antennae short, reaching humeral areas. Antennomere I stout, triangular, with apex prolonged in a short blunt horn, as long as half of antennomere width. Antennomeres II and III small, lamellae long, slender. Length of antennomeres III–X increasing to apex, while length of their lamellae decreasing apically (lamella of antennomere III the longest). Mandibles stout, arcuate to falcate (Fig. 6C), labrum connate to frontoclypeus, anterior margin weakened, clypeolabral suture inconspicuous. Maxillary palps with terminal palpomere broad, about 1.5× longer than subapical palpomere, more or less compressed, labial palps with terminal palpomere elongate, narrowed apically, both palps setose. Pronotum with anterior margin almost semicircular, lateral margins moderately divergent backwards (Fig. 3D), discal area elevated, finely pubescent, anterior and lateral edges of pronotum with broad punctures, posterior corners obtuse. Scutellum triangular. Elytra broadly oval, about 1.8× longer than humeral width, widest in elytral half. Longitudinal costae largely obsolete, costa 1 absent in distal half, costa 2 fully developed, costae 3 and 4 indistinct, marginal costa present, as strong as costa 2, sutural margins dehiscent. Pygidium widened apically, median extension as long as the lateral (Fig. 8H). Median point of sternum VIII broad (Fig. 8G), sternum IX emarginated distally (Fig. 9D). Syntergite asymmetrical. Phallus broadly widened in basal third, gently extended in distal onefifth (Fig. 10F 1–F 2), apex inconspicuously cleft. Body length: 16 mm, humeral width: 6.7 mm, width in elytral midlength: 7.6 mm. Female unknown.
Etymology: Named in reference to the body outline.
Distribution: Ecuador.
