The species was originally described from
Mexico
(
Veracruz
).
Schaeffer (1905
,
1908
) recorded
Neocompsa textilis
(Thomson, 1865)
from
Texas
, and
Linsley & Martin (1933)
described
N. textilis
var.
alacre
(written as
alacris
) also from
Texas
. The specimens used to record
N. textilis
and
N. textilis alacris
from the
USA
have been considered as belonging to
N. intricata
. Without doubt, this supposition was based in
Martins (1970)
(translated): “The specimens from Brownsville,
Texas
, and from
Hidalgo
in
Mexico
, appear to belong to this species [
N. intricata
]; however, the elytral apex is less projected at outer side and the erect setae of the elytra are more abundant. They will not be included in the
type
series.” Evidently, this is not a formal affirmation (“appear”). Thus, it is a mistake to list these specimens in the references of
N. intricata
. Currently,
N. textilis
var.
alacre
is
N. alacris
(
Bates, 1885
)
.
According to
Monné (2017a)
,
N. intricata
is recorded from the
USA
(
Texas
)
,
Mexico
(
San
Luis
Potosí
,
Veracruz
). However, as seen before, for the time being, the species is formally excluded from the fauna of the USA
.
