Notes.

Ambrosiodmus lewisi was first reported in North America from southeastern Pennsylvania ( Hoebeke 1991). This non-native species is the largest Ambrosiodmus in North America, and can be distinguished from A. minor by the tubercles on declivital interstriae 2, which are distinctly larger than those on other interstriae.
