Scaphinotus liebecki
Van Dyke, 1936: 40. Type locality:
"Tex[as]"
(original citation), herein restricted to New Braunfels, Comal County (see Gidaspow 1973: 82). Holotype (♂) in CAS [# 4110]. Etymology. The species name was proposed for Charles Liebeck [1863-1947], a paper scorer in Philadelphia by profession and a beetle collector in his spare time. Over the years Liebeck built up a fine collection of North American beetles, represented by more than 100,000 specimens, which he gave to Henry C. Fall with whom he had been in correspondence for more than 40 years.
Distribution.
This species, as far as known, is restricted to Arkansas (Stone County, CNC), western Louisiana, and eastern Texas [see Gidaspow 1973: Fig. 6].
