Dircaea liturata LeConte 1866: 66 (type locality: unknown)

Dircaea liturata lectotype (♂), labeled: “[pink disc = middle states; MD, DE, NY, NJ, PA, CT?, RI?] / Type 4773 / [handwritten] Dircaea liturata Lec. 4-maculata ║Say / LECTOTYPE ♂ Dircaea liturata LeC. design. Pollock 2000”. [lectotype by present designation]. Multiple authors have indicated the citation for this species as LeConte’s “List of the Coleoptera View in CoL of North America”, p. 66. Although this is merely a list and does not include an actual description, it does appear to be the first use of Dircaea liturata . LeConte did mention (twice) that his D. liturata was a replacement name for Serropalpus quadrimaculatus Say. The name is pre-occupied by Serropalpus quadrimaculatus Illiger, 1798 (also in Dircaea ).
