Exochonotus beechi SOLERVICENS 2003: 45.

Holotype: ♂. Chile, Arica, Qda. de Azapa , 22-26/VII/1987. A second label reads: Coll . SAGI ( MNNC) . Paratypes:Twospecimens from the same locality as the holotype ( MNNC, 1; UMCE, 1).

Diagnosis: The presence of 7 knobs on the disc of the pronotum will distinguish this species from S. dilatus.

Description: This species was adequately described and illustrated by SOLERVICENS (2003: 45). Additional characteristics involve: Antenna as in Fig. 18 , pronotum as in Fig. 44 , elytral asetiferous punctures striate, epipleural margin serrulate near elytral apex, and habitus in Fig. 95.
