Agonoleptus dolosus (Casey, 1914), new status, new combination View in CoL
Stenolophus unicolor dolosus Casey, 1914: 280. Type locality: "Los Angeles Co[unty], California" (original citation). Two syntypes in USNM [# 48049].
Distribution.
This species is known only from the type series collected in southwestern California.
Records.
USA: CA
Note.
I have studied both syntypes, including the male genitalia of one of them, and I have little doubt that they belong to a distinct species, though probably closely related to Agonoleptus unicolor (Dejean) based on Lindroth’s (1968: 924) description of the holotype of Agonoleptus unicolor . The name Stenolophus dolosus is listed as a junior synonym of Stenolophus unicolor (Dejean, 1829) in Lorenz (2005: 354).
