| Summary: | Subfamily Silphinae Necrodes surinamensis (Fabricius, 1775) Figs. 5, 19, 32, 45 Silpha surinamensis Fabricius, 1775: 72. Diagnosis. Body length 20–25 mm, broadly subparallel, dark brownish to black, elytra with small subapical reddish maculae. Head with large eyes, without short row of long erect hairs behind each eye. Pronotum orbicular, widest towards middle; disc without pubescence. Elytra with apices conjointly subtrunctate to projected medially; disc tricostate, intervals smooth and finely granulose; epipleuron oblique, wider at base than apex, coloration not differing from remainder of body. Hind femur of male swollen, with one or two spines. Range. Newfoundland south to Florida, west to British Columbia, Oregon and Texas (Anderson & Peck 1985, Peck & Kaulbars 1987); possibly in northern Mexico (Peck & Anderson 1985). The stated type locality, “ America meridionali ”, and the species-group name suggests that this species occurs in South America, but this was discounted by Peck and Anderson ... : Published as part of Mullins, Patricia L., Riley, Edward G. & Oswald, John D., 2013, Identification, distribution, and adult phenology of the carrion beetles (Coleoptera: Silphidae) of Texas, pp. 221-251 in Zootaxa 3666 (2) on pages 224-225, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3666.2.7, http://zenodo.org/record/220054 ... |
