Anchastus boulardi Chassain, 2010

( Figure 1 )

Chassain (2010) described A. boulardi from Montagne des Chevaux, French Guiana. However, this species is apparently widespread through northern South America and southern Central America (unpubl. data). This species is easily confused with A. moratus Candèze with yellow elytral apices, but can be immediately separated by the black apex of each elytron. Specimens examined (1): ECUADOR, Department Orellana., Trans. Ent. 1 Km S.
