Schizogenius lindrothi Whitehead, 1972

Schizogenius lindrothi Whitehead, 1972: 199. Type locality: "7 mi[les] n[orth] Southport, Bay Co[unty], Florida" (original citation). Holotype (♂) in MCZ [# 31970]. Etymology. The specific name honors Carl Hildebrand Lindroth [1905-1979], Swedish naturalist and carabid taxonomist. His systematic treatment of the carabid fauna of Canada and Alaska, achieved after 20 years, was the main catalyzer behind the interest for carabid taxonomy in North America that arose in the 1960s.

Distribution.

This species is currently known only from a few specimens collected in Florida, Guatemala, and Costa Rica (Whitehead 1972: 201). Also recorded from Honduras and Panama (Erwin 2011b: 218).

Records.

USA: FL - Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama

Note.

Whitehead (1972: 201) stated that he was uncertain if the two Central American specimens he saw were conclusively conspecific with those from Florida.
