Schizogenius sallei Putzeys, 1867

Schizogenius sallei Putzeys, 1867b: 228. Type locality: «Texas» (original citation), herein restricted to Garner State Park, Uvalde County (see Whitehead 1972: 230). Lectotype (♂), designated by Whitehead (1972: 229), in IRSN. Etymology. The specific name was proposed for Auguste Sallé [1820-1896], a naturalist traveller and later insect dealer in Paris. Sallé, accompanied by his mother, lived most of the time between 1832 and 1860 in Mexico and Venezuela and travelled also to southern United States, the West Indies, and Central America where he collected insects. Most of these specimens were sent to Louis Alexandre August Chevrolat who divided them in lots and sold them. In 1839, these lots were offered at 30 francs for 100 specimens plus 3 francs 40 centimes for the transport from America to Paris. His Central American collections were purchased by Godman and Salvin for the Biologia Centrali-Americana (Papavero 1971: 178-179).

Distribution.

This species ranges from Kansas south to the Rio Grande Valley in southern Texas [see Whitehead 1972: Fig. 185]. One specimen simply labeled from “Ohio” (Whitehead 1972: 229) could be mislabeled. The record from south-central Colorado (Wickham 1902: 232) is probably in error.
