D i a g n o s i s: The genus Pelonium SPINOLA was revised in 2018 ( OPITZ 2018b). This work included a key to species groups and species. The available specimen of Pelonium tayrona keys out to Pelonium circum OPITZ, from which it differs by showing more pronounced pronotal lateral tubercles.

Head: Cranium coarsely punctate; antenna ( Fig. 44 View Figs 43-60 ) capitate, funicular antennomeres shorter towards capitulum, capitular antennomeres 9 and 10 with short collateral branch, antennomere 11 oblong/subtruncate; eyes large, coarsely facetted, eye wider than frons (EW/FW 35/15). Thorax: Pronotum ( Fig. 130 View Figs 118-133 ) oblong (PW/PL 78/85), disc coarsely punctate, lateral tubercles well developed; elytra sculptured with small asetiferous punctures that diminish near elytral middle (EL/EW 245/65).
