Length 20-25 mm. C. glabratum, as happen with C. peregrinator and C. 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 Panama, Colombia and Bolivia. To them Jeannel (1940: 204) added Peru, followed by subsequent authors, but without further specification. Finally, some remains of glabratum have been found in a deposit of oil bearing sand in Trinidad, at Fyzabad (Blair, 1927: 137) but no recent findings have been reported from the island or from the Venezuelan mainland.
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).
