Treatment

Casnonia lengi Schaeffer, 1910: 395. Type locality: "Nogales [Santa Cruz County], Arizona" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] (♀) in USNM [# 56140]. Etymology. The species name honors Charles William Leng [1859-1941], coleopterist and historian. Born on Staten Island, Leng was early in his adult life a business partner with his father in importing iron and steel, with bicycles as a new and promising sideline. He eventually became director of the Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences. He is of course well known for the catalogue of North American beetles he published in 1920 at the request of John D. Sherman, Jr.

Distribution.

This species has a very restricted distribution; it is known from southeastern Arizona and adjacent northern Mexico [see Bousquet 2010b: Fig. 19].
