Dascillus plumbeus Horn, 1880 , new synonym [Dascillus melanophtalmus Guérin-Méneville, 1849 – “America Boreali”]

LeConte (1853: 229) stated that he had “not seen this species, but learn from my father that it occurs in Georgia.” Gemminger and Harold (1869: 1615) listed it from “ Georgia amer.” Horn (1880: 84) stated that it “should be stricken from our [ United States] lists, it is a native of Santo Domingo.” This taxon, to our knowledge, has not been treated in the literature or placed in checklists since 1880. It is currently under study by M. A. Ivie and K. Guerrero (M. A. Ivie, in litt.).
