Remarks. This species was described based on males and females from French Guiana. Currently, it remains known only from the type locality ( Monné 2024; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2024). All specimens of the type series have the dark maculae on the pronotum fused centrally and, from the original description and a paratype ( Fig. 56 View FIGURES 52–57 ) examined, the pubescence on the anterior region of the pronotum is much less conspicuous. However, as we found no other morphological features to separate the specimen from Brazil ( Figs 52–55 View FIGURES 52–57 ), we judge that this specimen represents only a specific variation. Additionally, the antennomeres IV–VI have no basal light ring. However, we saw photographs of specimens from French Guiana with these antennomeres also entirely dark.
