Distribution.

This species is known from Texas, as far south as DeWitt County and west to El Paso County [see Freitag 1969: Fig. 135]. The record from “Oklahoma” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 189) needs confirmation.

Records.

USA: TX [OK]

Note.

This taxon has been regarded as a subspecies of Cyclotrachelus torvus (LeConte) by Freitag (1969) but I believe it should be treated as a distinct species.
