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
