but showing more of a concentric arrangement of punctures and their 
accompanying elevated margins; median line not elevated, narrower 
than in hubbardi. 
Elytra notably wider behind middle than pronotum at its widest 
part, and 1.49 times as long, 1.48 times as long as wide; sides very 
feebly diverging to behind middle, then weakly converging, broadly 
rounded behind; surface shining, subglabrous on disk; strial rows 
all irregular (notably more so than in hubbard?), the first weakly 
impressed, the others not impressed; interspaces flat, strongly rugu- 
lose, basal third with numerous punctures, distal two-thirds with 
only occasional punctures on disk; sides with punctures smaller, very 
strongly rugulose. Declivity moderately sloping, originating well 
behind middle; not sulcate but with suture slightly elevated and 
first stria moderately impressed, the others not impressed but consist- 
ing of definite rows of punctures; interspaces sparsely punctured, 
with a few rather short, erect hairs (more numerous than in hubbardi). 
Male.—Similar in size and proportions; frons convex above, but 
below with a deep, shining, impunctate, triangular concavity, extend- 
ing from epistomal margin to level of upper angles of eyes; median 
carina elevated on lower half of concavity; vestiture of elytral declivity 
slightly coarser than in female. 
Type locality —Perené River, Peru. 
Host.—Seeds of Mucuna sp. 
Type material—Holotype, allotype, and five paratypes, U.S.N.M. 
No. 55999. 
The type series was taken from seed of Mucuna sp. (parrot bean), 
Perené River, Peru.

Female.—Light reddish brown; 2.37 mm. long, 2.62 times as long 
as wide. 
Frons convex above, flattened below on an approximate semicircle, 
subopaque, very finely, closely punctured, with very fine, light-yellow 
hairs of moderate length; median carina very fine and indistinct; 
surface subopaque above, very finely reticulate, with sparse, very fine 
punctures. Eye large, coarsely faceted, nearly half divided by a 
deep emargination. Antenna (fig. 3) with club obovate, 1.35 times 
as long as wide, more than one-half longer than funicle; first suture 
notched at sides, well marked by setae and by a strong, arcuate septum 
incomplete at center; second and third sutures indicated only by rows 
of setae.
