Tribe Hyperaspidini Mulsant

Hyperaspidius vittigerus (LeConte). Brookings, Butte, Brule, Charles Mix, Harding, Harding, Hughes, Jackson, Lake, Lawrence, Lyman, Meade, Sanborn, Turner, Yankton (SDSU, R.W.K.; Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975; Gordon 1985: 320).

Hyperaspis proba (Say). Bon Homme, Brookings, Day, Grant, Roberts, Union (SDSU; Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975; Gordon 1985: 416).

Hyperaspis signata (Olivier). Union (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975).

Hyperaspis binotata (Say). Brookings, Deuel, Grant, Hamlin, Lake, Roberts, Pennington, Yankton (NCARL, SDSU, R.W.K.; Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975 and Gordon 1985: 425).

Hyperaspis bigeminata (Randall). Harding (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975).

Hyperaspis lugubris (Randall). Lawrence County, Rough Lock Falls, 10- VI- 1971, E. U. Balsbaugh, Jr. (SDSU). NEW STATE RECORD. There are records of H. lugubris from several states in the central United States (Gordon 1985: 488).

Hyperaspis lateralis Mulsant. Corson, Grant, Harding, Hyde, Lawrence, Shannon (NDSU; SDSU; Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975 as Hyperaspis lateralis flammula).

Hyperaspis fastidiosa fastidiosa Casey. Buffalo, Harding (NDSU; Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975).

Hyperaspis fimbriolata Melsheimer. Deuel, Harding, Hughes, Turner, Yankton (NDSU, R.W.K.; Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975 as Hyperaspis fimbriolata fimbriolata Melsheimer).

Hyperaspis inflexa Casey. Butte County, Nisland, 16-VIII- 1950, H. C. Severin, female (SDSU). NEW STATE RECORD. Lawrence County, 5-VIII-1969 (NDSU); Deuel County, ‘‘Coteau Prairie,’’ 19-VII- 1979 (NCARL). Hyperaspis inflexa is widely distributed in the United States and Canada (Gordon 1985).

Hyperaspis troglodytes Mulsant. Lawrence County, Spearfish Canyon, 4- VIII- 1958, H. C. Severin, male (SDSU), and Aurora Prairie, Brookings County, 4-VII- 1991, R.W. Kieckhefer, male (R.W.K.). NEW STATE RECORD. The specimen was in the SDSU collection and had been identified as H. disconotata disconotata Mulsant (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975). The two species have been considered synonymous by some authors, but Gordon (1985) found sufficient differences in external morphology and between male genitalia to assign them as separate species. Thus, the new species determination deletes H. d. disconotata from the state list of Kirk and Balsbaugh (1975). Hyperaspis troglodytes is known from Minnesota, Iowa and other locations east of South Dakota. This species is so rare in collections that the possible range cannot be adequately assessed (Gordon 1985), but the first specimen cited above represents perhaps one of the westernmost records.

Hyperaspis undulata (Say). Bon Homme, Brookings, Brown, Buffalo, Clay, Deuel, Grant, Gregory, Hyde, Kingsbury, Lawrence, Lincoln, Minnehaha, Roberts, Turner, Union, Yankton (ISUI, NCARL, NDSU, SDSU, R.W.K.; Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975).

Hyperaspis brunnescens Dobzhansky. Moody County, Sioux Prairie, 9-VII- 1979, W. D. Wiesenborn, female (NCARL). NEW STATE RECORD. This species is known from Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and Nova Scotia (Gordon 1985: 542; Fauske et al. 2003; Majka et al. 2007).

Hyperaspis quadrivittata LeConte. Jackson County, Kadoka, ‘‘Badlands,’’ H. C. Severin, 3 males, 19-VII- 1950 (SDSU). NEW STATE RECORD. Several specimens collected thereafter from Brookings, Grant, Jackson, Turner, Yankton

(NDSU, SDSU, R.W.K.). This species is distributed in North Dakota and western states (Gordon 1985: 542; Fauske et al. 2003).
