diagnosis
Diagnosis. Within the sticticus-complex (small species without metallic luster on dorsum), this species is remarkable by the deeply melanic labrum and the absence of the pair of elytral spots on the fourth interstriae. It may be distinguished from Berosus garciai sp. n., which has a similar coloring, by the tenth elytral interstria not wider than the eleventh, the strong anterior tooth of the mesoventral process, directed downwards, and by the apical notch in the fifth apparent ventrite, which bears a single tooth at bottom. The parameres of Berosus jolyi (Fig. 18) are more strongly curved in lateral aspect than those of Berosus garciai (Fig. 7 B).
