Holotype: ♂. Type locality: Costa Rica, Cartago Prov., Turrialba, CATIE, 1900', December 1, 1995. A second label reads: Btng. Fallen tree: Brosimum alicastrum, J. Rifkind, H. Lezama, colls. (CSCA) . Paratypes: 3 specimens. Costa Rica: Provincia de Cartago, 3 km SE Turrialba, CATIE, 13-16-V-1985, J. Doyen (EMEC, 1; WOPC, 1) ; Provincia de Puntarenas, Santa Elena, 23-V- 1985, A. J. Gilbert (JNRC, 1) .

D i a g n o s i s: The elytral apex is yellow, the pronotum slightly oblong, the pronotal disc is broadly black, and elytral asetiferous punctures are arranged into 9 striae. The combination of these characteristics will distinguish the members of this species from congeners. The genus Pujoliclerus PIC was revised in 2014 (OPITZ 2014d).

D e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 4.0 mm; width 1.2 mm. Form: As in Fig. 339. Color: Cranium mostly testaceous, upper frons and epicranium with black broad line at middle; antenna black; prothorax mostly yellow, pronotal disc mostly black, upper angles yellow; pterothorax and abdomen dark brown; elytra mostly dark brown, apex yellow; legs bicolorous, become less infuscated from prothoracic legs to metathoracic legs. Head: Cranium coarsely punctate; antenna (Fig. 22) capitate, funicular antennomeres subserrate, 6 th antennomere expanded, capitular antennomeres 8 and 9 triangular, antennomere 10 ovate; eyes large, coarsely facetted, eye wider than frons (EW/FW 20/15). Thorax: Pronotum (Fig. 134) slightly oblong (PW/PL 55/60), disc coarsely punctate, lateral tubercles well developed; elytral asetiferous punctures organized into 9 striae, punctures diminish near elytral apex (EL/EW 170/40).
