Odontocorynus salebrosus . Champion (1909), misidentification (not Casey 1892). Odontocorynus histriculus Casey 1920: 433 . Holotype female, labeled: ‘‘Cuerna-

vaca/ Mor. Mex./ Wickham’’, ‘‘CASEY/ bequest/ 1925’’, ‘‘ TYPE USNM /

37883’’, ‘‘histriculus/ Csy.’’ Odontocorynus hystriculus . Hustache (1938), misspelling of O. histriculus .

Recognition. Odontocorynus histriculus often can be recognized by its dorsal vestiture of semi-erect elongate scales. The body shape is intermediate to those depicted in figs. 1 and 2, and the elytral apices leave only the extreme apex of the pygidium uncovered. Odontocorynus tectus , a very similar sympatric species, is stouter (as in Fig. 2 ) and has the pygidium more exposed.

Distribution. Southern Mexico ( Fig. 37 ).

Type locality. Mexico .

Material examined. MEXICO: Durango ( AMNH 1 ) , Guerrero ( TAMU 4 ) , Hidalgo ( CWOB 1 ) , Jalisco ( CWOB 7 , TAMU 1 ) , Michoacán ( CWOB 2 ) , Morelos ( USNM 9 ) , Puebla ( USNM 1 ) , Oaxaca ( CWOB 6 , JPPC 6 ). Total 37 specimens .

Temporal occurrence. Mid July to mid September [15 dates].

Plant association. None recorded.
