The new species is closely related to Taurodemus sanguinicollis (Blandford, 1898) but can be distinguished by the larger size of the pointed tubercles on interstriae 1 on the base of the declivity, and transverse shallow wrinkles on interstriae 1. The new species is distinguished from T. sharpi (Blandford, 1898), T. varians (F., 1801), T. varulus (Wood, 1974) by the much lower position of the major spine on the elytral declivity. The male can be distinguished by the major compound spine, positioned in middle of declivity, and coarse transverse wrinkles on interstriae 1.2.</p> <p>BIOLOGY. The species was collected in foothill forest (Bosque basimontano de Yunga),or rarely in tropical rain forest (Bosque de colina baja). Females boried in wood of branches and stems of Inga edulis (Fabáceae) and Protium sp. (Burseraceae). The tunnel runs radially into the wood for about 1.3–3.5 cm, and does not bifurcate (Fig 13). Eggs were deposited loose in the tunnel. The larvae fed communally on the ambrosia mycelium and on the wood as they expanded the tunnel into an elongate area of 2.5–3.5 cm 2 in the longitudinal plane. Each gallery system included 15–35 young females and 1 male.</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY. The species name reflects the stout body with two large pointed processes on the declivity. “Militaris” means martial (pertaining to war) in Latin.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/144C87DF9505A264EBE9F980FB06FE39	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
