Epicaerus (Epicaerus) inflatus Sharp 1891

Hab.MEXICO, Yolotepec (Sallé).

Anguste ovalis, convexus, niger, nitidus, fortius punctatus, fere esquamosus.
 
Long. 10½ millim.

Rostrum rather short and broad, moderately deeply impressed on the middle, without fovea on the forehead. Thorax narrowed in front, not elongate, not constricted behind, with coarse rugulose sculpture and a very feeble depression along the middle, the fine basal margin unusually distinct and definite. Elytra not elongate, convex, rounded at the sides, with the surface uneven and with series of rather large punctures; there is a slight squamosity on the depressed spots. Two specimens.
 
The bare surface is not, I believe, due to abrasion, the two specimens being in very good preservation. They represent, I think, the sexes, the female having the elytra rather more convex.
