Phyllobaenus longus LeConte 1884

Description

Phyllobaenus longus (LeConte, 1884: 22)

Original combination. Hydnocera longa

= Phyllobaenus villosus (Schenkling, 1908: 702) [Hydnocera villosa], new synonymy

Comments. I find no variation between villosus specimens from Mexico and longus specimens from the United States. The type locality of villosus is San Isidro, which expands the known distribution of P. longus from Texas and Arizona (LeConte 1884: 22) to Mexico. However, there are 18 Mexican states with a San Isidro. The only other specimens from Mexico I have examined are from Sonora [Mexico: Sonora, 5 miles east of Cananea, 16-IX-1970, K. Stephan (FSCA; 5)]. This northern Mexican record better represents the species’ distribution. Additional specimens have been examined (FSCA, BYUC, NMNH) from Eddy, Grant, Hidalgo, Lea and Union Counties in New Mexico, new state record.
