Loxandrus velox (Dejean, 1828) View in CoL

Feronia velox Dejean, 1828: 245. Type locality: «Amérique septentrionale" (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Allen (1972: 158), in MHNP.

Distribution.

This species is known for sure only from the four original specimens. The records from “Pennsylvania” (LeConte 1853a: 252), South Carolina (Kirk 1969: 11), Georgia (J.E. LeConte 1849: 26; Leng 1910: 73; Fattig 1949: 28), and southwestern Alabama ( Löding 1945: 17) need confirmation.

Note.

Dejean’s name was listed as synonym of Loxandrus rectus (Say) by LeConte (1846b: 338) but later considered a valid species (e.g., LeConte 1853a: 252; LeConte 1878b: 376).
