Epicaerus (Epicaerus) pedestris Sharp 1891

Hab.GUATEMALA, Cerro Zunil, San Gerónimo (Champion).

Augustulus, niger, griseo-squamosus, fere concolor; prothorace impressionibus paucis subinæquali; elytris seriatim remote subtiliter foveolatis.
 
Long. 8—9 millim.

Rostrum similar in the two sexes, nearly flat and unimpressed, with a small punctiform fovea between the eyes. Thorax conico-cylindrical, not much narrowed in front, the surface shining black (but covered with minute scales) and rendered slightly uneven by a few vague impressions; in the male with a slight transverse constriction immediately before the base. Elytra with regular series of moderately large rather distant punctures, the surface slightly depressed round each puncture; in the male there is a distinct constriction just behind the base.
 
Three examples were found at Cerro Zunil, one at San Gerónimo; the specimen from the latter locality differs considerably in outline and a little in colour, and may perhaps prove to belong to a distinct species.
