Epicaerus (Epicaerus) bicolor Sharp 1891

Hab.MEXICO, Tapachula in Chiapas (Höge); GUATEMALA, San Isidro, Las Mercedes, Volcan de Atitlan (Champion).

Niger, capite prothoraceque parcius subtiliter squamosis, hoc impressionibus paucis subinæquali; elytris fusco-squamosis, lateribus corporeque subtus fere albidis.
 
Long. 8—11 millim.

Rostrum flat, not at all impressed along the middle, with a minute punctiform fovea between the eyes. Thorax rather short, with only a very few impressions on it. Elytra with the upper surface covered with dark fuscous scales, the sides nearly white; the impressed remote punctures of the series are fine. Many specimens.
 
When quite fresh, the rostrum and thorax of this species are covered with a delicate squamosity which is apparently very easily abraded; in such specimens the squamosity of the elytra almost entirely conceals the sculpture. There is not much difference between the sexes, except that the female is larger and more convex than the male.
