Length 20-25 mm. glabratum, as happen with peregrinator and sponsa, is characterized by the presence of setae on the metatrochanters. Moreover, it is easy to differentiate because it is a relatively small species with smooth and shiny elytra, with slight striae, and with rather transverse pronotum.
It is found in Central America in Panama, Colombia and Bolivia, to which Jeannel (1940: 204) added Peru.
Erwin (2007: 89) seems to consider Calosoma (Carabomimus) bolivianum Gehin 1885 as a distinct species, contrary to the opinion of Jeannel, who in his time examined the type.
Material examined:
Bolivia: (type Calosoma bolivianum, MNHN)
Colombia: (type Calosoma glabratum, MNHN); dep. Antiquia (SB); dep. Cundinamarca: Bogotá (NMP, SB), Pandi (Breuning, 1928a: 105)
Panama: distr. Barù: Chiriqui (EM, SB)
Notes: Winged. It lives on grassland and cultivated field from midlands at 700m. up to an altitude of 2600m. Adults have been found in May (Erwin, 2007: 94).
