.
Type
locality: Lorna, British
Columbia
,
Canada

This species is similar to
P. concolor
, with which it shares the coarse, even elytral punctation and small overall size. The two may be separated by antennomere II, which is more than one-half the length of III in
P
.
fulgidus
, and only one-third the length in
P. concolor
.
Phymatodes fulgidus
also has a glabrous pronotum and elytra, while
P. concolor
is clothed in short, erect setae.
Phymatodes rainieri
also has glabrous elytra, however, the elytra and pronotum are impunctate in that species.
The
type
locality for this species is listed as Lorna, British
Columbia
, however, a town or city of that name does not appear to exist. It is presumed that the locality is around Lorna Lake or Lorna Pass in the Chilcotin Mountains near Big Creek, British
Columbia
, although this cannot be ascertained for certain.
Specimens examined:

of
