Odontocorynus larvatus (Boheman) View in CoL

( Figs. 26, 30 View Figs , 32 View Figs , 35 View Figs )

Centrinus larvatus Boheman 1844: 218 View in CoL . Lectotype female, here designated, labeled: ‘‘Typus’’, Champion’s handwriting ‘‘ Odontocorynus View in CoL / larvatus Boh’’, ‘‘ C. Larvatus View in CoL / Chevrol./ Mexico – Chev’’, ‘‘65’’, ‘‘ ♀ ’’ (NHRS, Schönherr Collection); paralectotype female, labeled: ‘‘Typus’’, ‘‘ Mexico / Chevrolat:/ 683.’’, ‘‘Oi’’ [error], ‘‘abut/ … [illegible]’’, ‘‘39’’ (NHRS, Chevrolat Collection).

Centrinus (Odontocorynus) larvatus View in CoL . Casey (1892).

Odontocorynus larvatus . Champion (1908).

Nicentrus contractus Casey 1892: 609 View in CoL (table), 613. Holotype female, labeled: ‘‘Capron/ 4.4 Fla’’, ‘‘CASEY/ bequest/ 1925’’, ‘‘TYPE USNM/ 37935 About USNM ’’, ‘‘contractus/ Csy.’’. New synonymy.

Recognition. Odontocorynus larvatus View in CoL generally can be recognized by its relatively dense vestiture, except for very small specimens which tend to have rather inconspicuous scales. In northern Florida, where O. umbellae View in CoL occurs, female specimens are needed when the identification based on male character states alone remains inconclusive. The same applies to O. salebrosus View in CoL , which can be distinguished reliably from O. larvatus View in CoL based on female character states. Odontocorynus calcarifer View in CoL is another sympatric species, and should be separable from O. larvatus View in CoL by using Table 1.

Distribution. United States, Florida and adjacent coast of Alabama ( Fig. 35 View Figs ); single records from Texas (USNM) and Mexico (type series) are unconfirmed and probably erroneous.

Type locality. Supposedly Mexico .

Material examined. MEXICO: without locality data ( NHRS 2). UNITED STATES: Florida ( AMNH 7, CMNC 75, CNCI 42, CWOB 405, JPPC 14, TAMU 152, USNM 534), Alabama ( CWOB 29, JPPC 10, USNM 21), Texas without locality ( USNM 1). Total 1294 specimens.

Temporal occurrence. May to mid October.

Plant association. Annonaceae : Asimina pygmaea (1X). Asclepiadaceae : Asclepias sp. (2X). Asteraceae : Eupatorium mohrii (3X), Flaveria linearis (13X). Clusiaceae : Hypericum edisonianum (1X). Cyperaceae : Cyperus sp. (18). Droseraceae : Drosera sp. (3X). Fabaceae : Vigna unguiculata [as black-eyed pea] (1X). Onagraceae : Gaura angustifolia (2X).

258 Nomenclatural notes. Boheman described Centrinus larvatus from the Chevrolat Collection. I received two identically pinned female specimens from the NHRS; one stood in the Chevrolat Collection, the other in the Schönherr Collection, both labeled as types. Although the description gives no information about the number of specimens included, I consider both as syntypes. Because of this ambiguity and Champion’s (1908) citation of a single type, I here designate the specimen of the Schönherr Collection as lectotype of C. larvatus . Odontocorynus larvatus was recognized in some collections as a distinct but unnamed species, but has never been associated with this long-available name.
