12. Loxandrus limatus Casey, 1918:382 View in CoL
This taxon was described from an unspecified number of specimens collected in the « District of Columbia ». Casey’s collection in USNM contains a single specimen, a female herein designated as the lectotype, labelled «Washgtn 15.10 D.C./Casey bequest 1925/Type USNM 47335 About USNM / limatus Csy. [handwritten]/ UAIC 00044057 View Materials / lectotype Loxandrus limatus by [handwritten] R. T. Allen» .
The lectotype (SBL ¼ 8.9; ABL ¼ about 10.0 mm) is conspecific with specimens of L. rectus (Say, 1823) [NEW SYNONYMY]. As pointed out by Allen (1972:72) ‘‘the large size and broadly rounded and explinate posterior angles of the pronotum serve to distinguish this species [ L. rectus ] and L. pravitubus from all other Loxandrus species. ’’
