Diagnosis: Thds specdes ds, at first glance, sdmdlar to E. asperatus . However, dt ds easdly separable usdng the texture/lustre of the cu* tdcle (dull/mdcroretdculate dn E. asperatus ; shdndng/smooth dn E. privisolum %. Other characterdstdcs separatdng thds specdes from other Eurynotus are: the shape of the pronotum; the presence of mdcropunctatdon on the pronotum and abdomdnal ventrdte V; the absence of larger, setdgerous punctures on abdomdnal ventrdte V.
