Clivina planicollis LeConte, 1857

Clivina planicollis LeConte, 1857b: 81. Type locality: "South Carolina" (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Whitehead (1974: 454), in MCZ [# 5471]. Note. LeConte (1857b: 81, 82) originally used two spellings for the name of this species, planicollis (page 81) and planicolis (page 82). Because LeConte (1863b: 4) subsequently used the spelling planicollis, this spelling is the correct original spelling (ICZN 1999: Article 24.2.4).

Clivina texana LeConte, 1863c: 4. Type locality: «Texas» (original citation), restricted to "Bentsen State Park, Mission, Hidalgo County" by Whitehead (1974: 454). Lectotype (♂), designated by Whitehead (1974: 454), in MCZ [# 5470]. Synonymy established by Whitehead (1974: 454).

Distribution.

This species ranges from South Carolina (LeConte 1857b: 82; Ciegler 2000: 42) and northern Georgia (Fattig 1949: 14; Floyd County, MCZ) west to southwestern Texas (Dajoz 2004: 117; El Paso County, MCZ), north along the Mississippi River drainage to west-central Indiana (Tippecanoe County, CMNH) and east-central Kansas (Dickinson and Douglas Counties, MCZ); also recorded from Jalisco, Nayarit, Tamaulipas (Erwin 2011b: 183) and Veracruz in Mexico (Bates 1881: 32). The record from the District of Columbia (Ulke 1902: 6) needs confirmation.

Note.

Hlavac (1967: 19) believed this species was morphologically distinct enough to propose a new subgenus, Alphaclivina , for it. His thesis being unpublished, the name is unavailable.
