Anogdus texanus Peck and Cook View in CoL , new species
( Fig. 29, 30 View Figures 19–32 , 35 View Figure 35 )
Diagnostic description. Length (pronotum + elytra) = 1.76–2.20 mm; greatest width = 1.16–1.46 mm. Head punctures moderately coarse, irregularly spaced. Antennal club slender; antennomere 7 distinctly narrower than 9 and 10; antennomere 8 distinct, narrow; apical antennomere slightly narrower than 9 and 10. Sides of pronotum rounded, posterior angles obtuse. Pronotal punctures on disk finer and more distantly spaced than head punctures, larger and more dense posterolaterally. Elytral strial punctures round and deep, separated by ± 1 diameter; interstrial punctures fine, distantly spaced. Elytral epipleura inconspicuously setose. Metasternal anterior margin with a row of large, deep punctures; metasternum with smaller punctures medially, variably rugose laterally. Protarsi and mesotarsi of male bearing white setae ventrally. Male mesotibia curved; mesotibial process broad at base, curved, shorter than large tibial spine. Metafemur slender; males usually with a broad, triangular expansion near the apex of the lower margin. Abdominal sternites III–VII each with a row of closely spaced, round, deep punctures at anterior margin. Median lobe of aedeagus ( Fig. 29, 30 View Figures 19–32 ) elongate, broad, anterior one–third somewhat depressed; paired apices inwardly curved. Parameres slender, apically expanded, reaching about to apex of median lobe. Inverted internal sac ( Fig. 29, 30 View Figures 19–32 ) with a distinctive structure in basal one-third bearing dark setae.
Note. This species was erroneously illustrated by Daffner (1988, Fig. 17 and 18 View Figures 1–18 ) as Anogdus fusciclavus (Fall) and that record from Kerrville, Kerr Co., Texas, is in error (see above).

Distribution. North America. Known only from the United States in the states of Oklahoma and Texas ( Fig. 35 View Figure 35 ).
Seasonality. Adults are known scattered throughout the year but mostly from the spring months of April and May suggesting that the species is mostly spring active.
