Quediellus nanulus Casey

Type material.

Lectotype (male, United States National Museum of Natural History, not examined): Lane Co. Or / Casey bequest 1925 / Type USNM 48307 / nanulus Csy.

Smetana (1971) stated that the male lectotype was a typical member of Q. nanulus (e.g., short, narrow elytra, small-bodied). Several non-type male specimens from the type locality matching this description and consistent with the ‘nanulus’ morphotype, were available for study. The aedeagi of these specimens fell within the range of morphological variation considered to belong to a single, variable Q. debilis .
