Aneflomorpha luteicornis Linsley 1957: 285 View in CoL .
Diagnosis. Length 12–16 mm, pronotum averages 1.08 times longer than wide, elytra together average 3.41 times longer than wide ( Fig. 2b View Figure 2 ). Integument brunneous except for pale testaceous antennomeres beyond scape, tibiae, and femoral bases. Antennae carinate ( Fig. 9j View Figure 9 ). Spine of third antennomere distinctly longer than second antennomere and spine of fourth antennomere, projecting away from antennal plane by about 30 degrees, acute at apex ( Fig. 9j View Figure 9 ). Pronotum with large, mostly separate punctures partially obscured by recumbent white to ochre pubescence; often with small impunctate, post-median callus ( Fig. 5k View Figure 5 ). Elytral apices truncate or weakly bidentate (rarely rounded apicolaterally) ( Fig. 8j View Figure 8 ). Elytral pubescence white or off-white, recumbent and recurved, with scattered long erect to suberect setae, especially at base ( Fig. 7k View Figure 7 ). Procoxal cavities open by more than the apical width of the weakly expanded prosternal process ( Fig. 10k View Figure 10 ). Protibia slender, gradually widening apically with the dorsal margin straight and non-carinate (as in Fig. 11b View Figure 11 ).
Discussion. Like A. gilana , the highly contrasting, lighter colored antennal flagellomeres and tibiae compared to the darker scape and femoral apices are very distinctive for A. luteicornis . These contrast much more than in A. gilana which has rufous integument ( Fig. 1h View Figure 1 ) unlike A. luteicornis which has dark brown integument ( Fig. 2b View Figure 2 ). The spine of antennomere three is distinctly longer than antennomere two in A. luteicornis ( Fig. 9j View Figure 9 ), unlike that in A. gilana ( Fig. 9g View Figure 9 ). The pronotum is slightly longer than wide in A. luteicornis ( Fig. 5k View Figure 5 ), but slightly broader than long in A. gilana ( Fig. 5h View Figure 5 ). The elytral pubescence in A. gilana has almost no erect setae ( Fig. 7h View Figure 7 ) and has primarily recumbent setae, while in A. luteicornis , erect setae are abundant at the elytral base ( Fig. 7k View Figure 7 ), in addition to recumbent setae.
Distribution and biology. Although this species is widespread in the mountains of southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, it is not as commonly collected as other species that are found at lower elevations (pers. obs.; Linsley 1963). No larval hosts were established until Vlasak in Heffern et al. (2018) collected larvae in living, girdled terminal branches of Q. hypoleucoides A. Camus from the Santa Catalina Mountains, Pima County, and other locations in southeastern Arizona. Confirming this host, another specimen from the Hopkins rearing material from “Chiricahua, New Mexico ”, reared from Q. hypoleucoides , was identified in the USNM collection. One adult specimen was collected beating Cercocarpus breviflorus A. Gray at over 2000 meters in Cochise Co., Arizona.
