RHODOBAENUS PUSTULOSUS (GYLLENHAL) ( COLEOPTERA : CURCULIONIDAE : DRYOPHTHORINAE ) FOUND IN TEXAS

The recent note by Anderson (2010) on the distribution of Rhodobaenus pustulosus (Gyllenhal) noted that there was no substantiated record for the state of Texas. In the collection of the senior author ( CWOB) there are three specimens of this species, two from Arizona ( AZ: Chiricahua Mountains , Entrance to National Monument , and AZ: Santa Cruz County, Sunnydale Ranch) and a third specimen from West Texas ( TX: Jeff Davis County , 12 miles west of Fort Davis, 6.VII.1980, W. H. Tyson). This latter record confirms Texas as part of the distribution of this species in the U.S.A.
