Agathomerus pulcher Lacordaire, 1845, designated by Jacoby and Clavareau (1905).

Agathomerus differs from the other genera of Megalopodina by the spatulate shape of the spiculum gastrale; in the other genera it is forked or straight. Moreover, it is also distinguished by the following character states: mesoscutum apex emarginate, metatarsomeres I–III conical, metatarsomeres V longer than I–III and, usually, tergite II with three sclerotized portions. Whereas in Plesioagathomerus Monrós, Mastostethus and Homalopterus Perty the mesoscutum apex is rounded, metatarsomeres I–III are subcylindrical, metatarsomeres V are as long as I–III (except in Homalopterus where they are variable); in Plesioagathomerus and Homalopterus tergite II has two sclerotized portions and in Mastostethus tergite II is uniformly sclerotized.

In addition, Agathomerus differs from Mastostethus by the generally longer antennae and convex metaventrite. In Mastostethus the antennae are short and the metaventrite has a conical tubercle medially. It is distinguished from Homalopterus by the mandible with a lateral groove, last labial palpomeres fusiform, elytra without costae and long parameres. In Homalopterus the mandibles lack a lateral groove, the last labial palpomeres are bullet-shaped, the elytra is costate and the parameres are short. Agathomerus can be separated from Plesioagathomerus by the abdominal process projected between the metacoxae and by the long empodium. In Plesioagathomerus, the abdominal process is short and not projected between metacoxae, and the empodium is short.

Agathomerus differs from Pseudohomalopterus by the meso- and metaventral processes not joined in lateral view and the emarginate ventral apex of tarsomeres V. In Pseudohomalopterus, the meso- and metaventral processes are joined (as in Mastostethus), and the ventral apex of tarsomeres V is emarginated and notched. Agathomerus is easily distinguished from Barticaria, Bothromegalopus Monrós, and Megalopus by the elongate and robust shape of the body and the subparallel external edges of the elytra. Whereas in Barticaria, the body is compact and subcylindrical; in Megalopus and Bothromegalopus, the elytra are raised behind the scutellum, the elytral suture is depressed, and the body narrows towards the apex (as in Pseudohomalopterus).

Head. Constricted behind eyes; frontal surface along eye margins with ocellate punctures (Figs 1F, 2I); frons variable, impunctate, glabrous. Interocular space usually transverse. Antennae variable in length and shape, usually reaching anterior edge of elytra (Fig. 1A), with 11 antennomeres; scapes subconical; antennomeres II globose; III shorter than scape; V–X articulated laterally; XI usually ovoid; scape and II–IV with scattered setae; setae on V–XI short and dense. Eyes prominent and notched (Figs 1F, 2I). Frontoclypeal groove conspicuous. Clypeus trapezoidal, punctate; surface of disc with erect pubescence, posterior region with a transverse, translucent band; labrum oblong, surface of disc sparsely pubescent, edge densely so. Mandibles triangular, not toothed; external side with groove, punctate, and with procumbent setae. Maxillary palps with 4 palpomeres, I subcylindrical, II clavate, III shorter than II and IV, IV subconical or bullet-shaped. Ligula bilobed. Labial palps with 3 palpomeres, I subcylindrical and very short, II clavate and longer than III, III fusiform and longer than I. Mentum bilobed. Gula trapezoidal, punctate.

The color pattern in Agathomerus pulcher exhibits a high degree of polymorphism (Fig. 2), and because of its wide distribution, specimens from different regions were considered to belong to different species.

After reviewing the specimens from Francisco Monrós’ collection deposited in the NMNH, GRM observed label annotations that Monrós considered A. bichito and A. pulcher as synonyms. On the other hand, he considered other specimens as different subspecies because of the variation in their coloration. However, these observations were never published.

The type specimen of Agathomerus pulcher was collected in Mexico (Lacordaire, 1845), although the exact locality is not specified; for many years this species was considered restricted to this country. However, after the present study, A. pulcher is now considered a species with a wide distribution, from Mexico to Argentina. It should be noted that after reviewing main collections from different countries, no specimens of A. pulcher from Mexico were found, which calls into question its presence in this country.
