Lebia lecontei Madge, 1967

Lebia lecontei Madge, 1967: 164. Type locality: «Texas» (original citation), herein restricted to 2.5 miles east of Nickle Creek Station, Culberson County (see Madge 1967: 164). Syntype(s) in MCZ [# 5802]. Note. Madge (1967: 164) proposed the name Lebia lecontei as a replacement name for Lebia testacea (LeConte, 1880). However, LeConte never provided a description for Lebia testacea . The first description of the species was done by Madge (1967: 164).

Distribution.

This species is known from a few specimens collected in western Texas (Madge 1967: 164), southeastern Arizona (Cochise County, CNC, UASM), and “Tamaulipas” (MCZ, collection LeConte) and Nuevo León (UASM) in Mexico. The record from Baja California (Horn 1894: 310, as Lebia testacea ) needs confirmation.
