Figs 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A, 8A, 9A–B, 10
Deltochilum gilli González-Alvarado & Vaz-de-Mello, 2021: 50, figs 26c, 28.
Diagnosis
Elytra with apical tubercles on interstriae III–VII (Fig. 5A), first stria almost twice as wide as than second stria, striae III–VII subequal in width and conspicuous (Figs 1A, 4A) and sub-medial area of endophallus with elongate scales (Fig. 8A, arrow) distinguish this species (for a complete description see González-Alvarado & Vaz-de-Mello 2021).
Material examined
Holotype GUYANA • 1 ♂; District 8, Mount Wokomung; 5º06′34.8″ N, 59º49′15.3″ W; alt. 1234 m; 27 Oct.–1 Nov. 2004; B. Hubley leg.; pitfall trap (human dung), primary forest; ROM 2004516; BDGC. [aedeagus and endophallus extracted]; CNC 379888.
Paratype GUYANA • 1 ♀; same collection data as for preceding; BDGC.
Remarks
Within D. (Deltohyboma) only few species which possess the anterior margin of clypeus expanded posteriorly into a triangular shape have more than four elytral apical tubercles. Frequently, in species bearing over four apical tubercles, the anterior margin of the clypeus is not expanded into a triangular shape. D. gilli is one of those few exceptions.
Known distribution
Guyana. District 8, Mount Wokomung. (Fig. 10, blue circle).
