Pimelerodius sharpi ( SleePer, 1954) View in CoL ( Figs. 1–2 View Figs )
Erodiscus sharpi Sleeper 1954: 346 View in CoL . O’Brien and Wibmer 1982: 101. Described from a holotype female labeled Porto Bello, Panama, II-20.
Pimelerodius sharpi View in CoL ; Vanin 1986: 499.
Vanin (1986) was correct in his placement of this species in his new genus Pimelerodius Vanin, 1986 View in CoL . He based this on the character states as cited in Sleeper’s description of pronotum and elytra glabrous, elytral striae deeply impressed, abdominal ventrites 1 and 2 fused, the suture between them obsolete, and femora minutely dentate. Based on examination of the holotype female I can confirm the presence of these states, although the striae appear to be more shallowly impressed than indicated by Sleeper (and they are a continuous sulcus, not a series of punctures) and agree with his conclusion. The species will key to couplet 4 in Vanin’s key to Pimelerodius ( Vanin 1986: 478) View in CoL as elytral striae 1–6 are sulcate and not punctate. It differs from Pimelerodius sulcatipennis Vanin, 1986 View in CoL from Brazil by distribution, the shallower elytral sulci and the eyes placed slightly wider apart as noted in the couplet below.
