Elliptoleus acutesculptus Bates, 1882

Elliptoleus acutesculptus Bates, 1882a: 98. Type locality: Refugio, Durango, Mexico (lectotype label). Lectotype (♀), designated by Liebherr (1991b: 95), in MHNP. Note. In the original description, the locality listed by Bates (1882a: 98) is "Mexico, near the city." Liebherr (1991b: 95) pointed out that Bates probably made a mistake in listing this locality since no specimen of Elliptoleus acutesculptus in Bates’ collection bears a Mexico City locality label.

Distribution.

This species extends from east-central Arizona and southwestern Texas south to the state of San Luis Potosí in central Mexico [see Liebherr 1991b: Fig. 269]. Only two localities have been reported for the United States.
