Like the other Bolivian bugs in my collection this one was found by cracking open a concretion.
The glabella is pustulose and the thorax is covered with small sharp nodes. It is likely that if a careful air abrasion prep was done of one of these bugs the nodes would turn out to be short spines, which are left in the counterpart when the concretion is cracked open.
