Physea hirta LeConte, 1853

Physea hirta LeConte, 1853c: 393. Type locality: "Mexico ... a few miles south of our boundary" (original citation). Lectotype [as holotype] (♂), designated by Ball and McCleve (1990: 87), in MCZ [# 5488]. Note. The lectotype is labeled "Physea hirta Lec. Tampico Hald." Whether or not the specimen is really a syntype is open to question. Tampico, located in the southern part of the Tamaulipas state, is not "a few miles south of" the US boundary.
