10. Loxandrus fulgens Casey, 1918:388 View in CoL
This taxon was described from an unspecified number of specimens collected at «Vicksburg, Mississippi ». Casey’s collection in USNM contains a single specimen, a female, herein designated as the lectotype, labelled «Vic Miss [handwritten]/Casey bequest 1925/Type USNM 47344 About USNM / fulgens Csy [handwritten]/ UIAC 00044055 / lectotype Loxandrus fulgens by [handwritten] R. T. Allen»
The specimen (SBL ¼ 10.5 mm; ABL ¼ about 11.4 mm) is conspecific with specimens of L. brevicollis (LeConte, 1848) [NEW SYNONYMY]. As pointed out by Allen (1972:144), L. brevicollis ‘‘is one of the larger and more distinct Loxandrus species. The males and females can usually be identified by using external characters.’’
