Members of this genus are notable for the tuberculate ornamentation on the head, thorax, and abdomen. Although little is known about the biology of these beetles, there are records of association with different species of army ants (\n                    <jats:italic>Labidus<\/jats:italic>\n                    Jurine, 1807 and\n                    <jats:italic>Nomamyrmex<\/jats:italic>\n                    Borgmeier, 1936).
