Eleodes neomexicanus Blaisdell, 1909

Diagnosis. The dull luster and densely tuberculate elytra without costae will separate this species from others in the tricostatus group. This species was originally described as a subspecies of E. pedinoides . Length: 18–23 mm.

Distribution. The only Texas record for this species is Van Horn (Culberson County). As the name implies, the type locality is in New Mexico. Even there it is rarely collected.
