Discussion.
The
lectotype
of
Acrimea fimbriata
is similar to the
holotype
of
Ti. trisectus
in external characters. The shape of the aedeagus, including the structure of the internal sac, is identical in the
lectotype
of
Acri. fimbriata
and in examined males of
Ti. trisectus
.
Klimaszewski
et al.
(2002) placed
Ti. pallidus
in synonymy with
Ti. caviceps
. Unfortunately, the male
paralectotype
of
Ti. pallidus
lacks the head and pronotum which does not allow the comparison of these parts of the body with the males of
Ti. caviceps
which have strong medial impressions of the head disk and pronotum. However, both types of
Ti. pallidus
are more glossy than the types of
Ti. caviceps
and resemble
Ti. trisectus
in that respect. The aedeagus (including the structures of the internal sac) of the
paralectotype
of
Ti. pallidus
is similar to the aedeagus of
Ti. trisectus
, and not
Ti. caviceps
. This fact is clear when
Figures 21
,
23
and
17–20
in
Klimaszewski & Pelletier (2002)
are compared. Therefore,
Ti. pallidus
is removed from synonymy with
Ti. caviceps
and placed in synonymy with
Ti. trisectus
Casey, 1906
.
Hanley (2002)
designated the
lectotype
of
Ti. trisectus
. However, when
Casey (1906)
described
Ti. trisectus
he indicated that he had “the single type” of this species. Therefore this type is the
holotype
, and the
lectotype
designation by
Hanley (2002)
is redundant.
Hanley (2002)
also designated the
lectotype
of
Ti. binarius
. When
Casey (1911a)
described
Ti. binarius
he indicated that he had “only one example” of this species. Therefore this type is the
holotype
, and the
lectotype
designation by
Hanley (2002)
is redundant.
Distribution.
Ti. trisectus
is widespread in the
United States
. It is known from
Oregon
,
California
,
Arizona
,
Idaho
,
Iowa
,
Pennsylvania
and
Tennessee
.
