Xanthocomus concinnus
(
Casey, 1916
)
,
comb. nov.
Leptostilbus concinnus
Casey 1916: 72
.
Diagnosis
. May be distinguished from
X. rutilans
by the absence of obvious punctures in the elytral intervals (
Fig. 4
). The male hind tibiae are similar to those of the female, and the apical spurs are directed more apically. The aedeagus provides the most reliable characters for separation (
Fig. 7, 8
), including the fused parameres (movable apical portion of tegmen) with a broad median cleft, and the apex of the penis acutely pointed medially.
Type material
. Three
syntypes
in USNM,
lectotype
here designated in order to stabilize the species name, point-mounted male with genitalia removed and mounted in DMHF on an acetate card on the same pin, “·Miss [=Vicksburg,
Mississippi

LECTOTYPE
