Descriptive Notes.
Large size (ABL>
9 mm
).
Forebody frequently yellowish to reddish-brown.
Elytra very dull due to subgranulate microsculpture. Femora constantly yellowish. Basal metatarsomere especially long. Male abdominal apex distinctly emarginate. Median lobe straight in lateral profile, ventral bilateral borders distinctly carinate distally; dorsoapical plate very short, apex rounded to subtruncate, with abrupt ventral hook. Endophallus with 2 long pigmented membranous bands in ostium. ABL: 9.0–
10.5 mm
.

Remarks.
Bousquet (2012)
reported for
S. schaefferi
the geographic range of southern
Arizona
to southeastern
California
and stated that many of those records were previously reported (erroneously) as
S. semirufus
. Bousquet questioned the
Texas
record reported in the catalogue by
Csiki (1932: 1201)
wherein Csiki proposed the name
S. schaefferi
for
S. semirufus
Bates, 1882
sensu
Schaeffer (1910: 403)
. By inserting “non Bates” after “
S. schaefferi
nom. nov.
” in his catalogue, Csiki acknowledged true
S. semirufus
Bates
which received a separate listing in the catalogue. Schaeffer’ s mistaken concept of
S. semirufus
was aptly assigned by Csiki to
S. schaefferi
, a species that we agree is quite different. We studied representative specimens of
S. schaefferi
from southwestern
USA
that clearly match Schaeffer’ s (1910) description, that is, a large beetle the size of
S. opalinus
with bright reddish-testaceous forebody against dull black elytra (due to the subgranulate microsculpture). This is to be contrasted with Bates’ (1882) account of a comparatively smaller
S. semirufus
with forebody colored chestnut-reddish against black elytra silky and shiny (“dorso sericeonitentibus”). Curiously,
Csiki (1932)
also placed
Hemisopalus angulatus
Casey,
1914
in synonymy with
S. schaefferi
. Clearly a different species,
H. angulatus
does not exhibit the characteristic rufous forebody.
Ball and Maddison (1987)
established that
Amblygnathus subtinctus
(LeConte, 1867)
is the senior synonym of
H. angulatus
. That taxonomic move likely accounted for the catalogue listing by
Lorenz (2005)
in which
S. schaefferi
was placed in junior synonymy with
Amblygnathus subtinctus
.
Selenophorus schaefferi
is an uncommon species without known records beyond the states of
Arizona
and
California
.
