Anelaphus mutatum (Gahan) View in CoL
Elaphidion pilosum Fisher 1932: 36 View in CoL , new synonymy
Discussion. The type of Elaphidion pilosum Fisher ( AMNH 2008) is somewhat similar to Elaphidion tomentosum (Chevrolat) , but the broadly inflated pronotum (much wider than head at widest point) and the lack of an acutely declivous prosternal process places it in Anelaphus ( Lingafelter 1998) . It is a new synomym of Anelaphus mutatum (Gahan) as no characters can be found to distinguish them. Anelaphus crispulum (Fisher) is very similar with respect to size and the bispinose elytral apices, however it varies by having pubescence mostly uniform on the elytra (much denser on the anterior half in A. mutatum ).
