3 species, not 1
The genus Info page says there are 3 species of Deilelater in Florida, and gives the Florida county distribution of each species. The info comes from "Beetles of Florida" by Michael Thomas, linked to on the page.

I could find no info on how to distinguish the 3 species in Florida.
