Geraeus tectus Champion 1908: 292 View in CoL . Holotype female, labeled: ‘‘Type’’, ‘‘ ♀ ’’, ‘‘ Oaxaca / Mexico / Hoege’’, ‘‘B.C.A. Col. IV.5./ Geraeus View in CoL / tectus/ Champ.’’, handwritten ‘‘ Geraeus View in CoL / tectus/ Cha’’ (BMNH).

Recognition. Odontocorynus tectus View in CoL , together with O. townsendi View in CoL , has the antenna least modified. Of the four males studied, only one showed minor modifications of the club, but all had distal desmomeres with elongate dorsal setae. Odontocorynus histriculus View in CoL is similar, but has a more elongate body shape, the elytral apices more narrowly rounded, and (in males) the club noticeably modified.

Distribution. Central and southern Mexico (plus one isolated record from Nuevo León) to Costa Rica ( Fig. 39 View Figs ).

Type locality. Oaxaca, Mexico .
