Description

Elonus nebulosus (LeConte, 1875)

(Figures 1i; 2d,k; 3a,h,o; 5)

Xylophilus nebulosus LeConte, 1875:175; LeConte, 1878: 426; Champion, 1890: 176; Pic, 1894: 430. ♂ holotype: MCZC [examined, dissected, remounted].

Elonus nebulosus LeConte; Casey, 1895: 776; Pic, 1896: 50; Werner, 1990: 230; Werner, 1992: 257 Hylophilus (Elonus) nebulosus LeConte; Pic, 1902: 9; Pic, 1905: 237, 273; Pic, 1910: 12

Type locality. United States, Pennsylvania.

Distribution. Canada (Quebec), United States (Florida to Texas, north to Michigan) (Werner, 1992).

Notes. Easily separated from all other North American species by its coloration pattern and the enormous size of the male femora. The banding pattern of the elytra tends to fade on very old museum specimens and older specimens should be examined closely to avoid confusion.

Material examined. USA. Massachusetts: Middlesex County, Tyngsborough (Blanchard F. leg.) 28.VII.1888 (1 ♂, MCZC), (Liebeck leg.) VII.1900 (1 ♂, MCZC); New Hampshire: Grafton County, Rumney (PJ Darlington leg.) 26.VI.1925 (1 ♂, MCZC); New York: Onondaga County, Elbridge (NM Downie leg.) 27.VI.1940 (1 ♀, MCZC); Pennsylvania: (1 ♂, holotype, 4 ♂, MCZC); South Carolina: Chesterfield County, Sand Hills State Forest, 10.6 km east of Patrick, mixed coniferous/hardwood forest, beaten from branches (JP Gruber leg.) 24.VIII.2011 (1m, NGPC); Texas: Fort Bend County, Brazos Bend State Park, Whiteoak Trail, hardwood forest, beaten from small-leaved shrubs or hardwood trees (JP Gruber leg.) 18.IV.2014 (1 ♂, 1 ♀, NGPC); San Jacinto County, Sam Houston National Forest, Creek Scenic Area, mixed hardwood/coniferous forest, beaten from branches of Quercus sp. and Carya sp. (JP Gruber leg.) 11.III.2013 (3 sp.
