Epicaerus (Epicaerus) championi Sharp 1891

Hab.GUATEMALA, San Gerónimo (Champion).

Angustulus, griseo-squamosus; prothorace inæquali, fortiter subobsolete punctato; elytris transversim subundulatim impressis.
 
Long. 9 millim.

Rostrum rather short, punctate and squamose, impressed along the middle and foveolate at the summit of the impression; lateral impressions broad and placed much on the front aspect. Thorax subconical, but with a slight constriction at the sides behind; the surface with coarse, very vague, rather regularly distributed impressions. Elytra slightly constricted at the base, with series of impressions that are connected transversely so as to form undulatory grooves. The suture of the elytra is in the female a little more prominent at the commencement of the apical declivity.
 
There is no difficulty in distinguishing this insect, the vague depressions seen in other species in connection with the punctuation being in E. championi unusually developed. A small series was procured.
