Microctonus pachylobii Muesebeck, 1961, p 58 .

Distribution: Eastern and central North America.

Specimens examined: One hundred thirty from 27 collection events; questionable female identifications: two from two collection events.

Flight period: December through May in southeastern U.S.; May through August in northern areas.

Remarks: Most Microctonus species treated here with relatively large eyes are sexually dimorphic with the males having smaller eyes. Both sexes of M. pachylobii however have similarly large eyes.
