Phymatodes fulgidus Hopping View in CoL

(Fig. 12)

Phymatodes fulgidus Hopping, 1928:246 View in CoL . Type locality: Lorna, British Columbia, Canada. CNC

This species is similar to P. concolor View in CoL , 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 View in CoL , and only one-third the length in P. concolor View in CoL . Phymatodes fulgidus View in CoL also has a glabrous pronotum and elytra, while P. concolor View in CoL is clothed in short, erect setae. Phymatodes rainieri View in CoL 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: 2, including the type of P. fulgidus
