Elaphidionopsis fasciatipennis Linsley. New lar-

val host record and distributional records.

DJH reared one specimen from a dead branch of Texas mountain laurel, Dermatophyllum secundiflorum (Ortega) Gandhi and Reveal (Fabaceae) from TX: Real Co. The wood was stored almost two years before beetle emergence. DJH reared another specimen from miscellaneous dead, dry branches (probably Senegalia / Vachellia (formerly Acacia ) ( Fabaceae ) or Celtis ) from TX: Val Verde Co., along Hwy 90 at the Pecos River. DJH also collected this species at UV light in TX: Brewster Co., Rosillos Mts. (now part of Big Bend National Park). DJH saw numerous specimens taken at lights in TX: Kendall Co. by a late colleague, Steve Hanselmann. The disposition of Hanselmann’ s personal collection is unknown.

Elytroleptus divisus (LeConte) .

Elytroleptus was recently reviewed by Grzymala and Miller (2013), who summarized larval host plant records and discussed the mimetic and predatory behavior of some species.

There are no published rearing records for E. divisus . Adults of this species apparently do not mimic any beetle or insect species. DJH collected them occasionally in southern Texas by beating on blooming Condalia hookeri M. C. Johnst. and Ziziphus obtusifolia (Hook. ex Torr. & A.Gray) A. Gray (both Rhamnaceae ). DJH reared one specimen from miscellaneous dead, dry branches (probably Senegalia / Vachellia (formerly Acacia ) or Celtis ) from TX: Val Verde Co., along Hwy 90 at the Pecos River. Dead branches were cut from the shaded, lower parts of living trees. While this information is indefinite as to the exact larval host, it indicates that the larvae of this species may not require proximity to living plant tissue.
