The four eyed shovel is distributed in countries such as Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia in South America. Its habitat is usually located in tropical rainforest mountainous areas at an altitude of 2000 meters, with low temperatures. The appearance of the four eyed shovel is quite strange, with a very developed outer edge of the eye. From the side, it seems that there are a pair of eyes on each side of the head, which is jokingly referred to as the four eyed shovel armor. The male worm's body length is about 50-80mm, and the body length excluding the maxilla can usually reach 50mm. It is the second largest shovel beetle in South America, second only to the Chilean long toothed shovel.
