 Type locality: Texas. 

 Distribution : Texas. 

 Note — Known only by the type which is in the Kerremans collection. From 

 the figure and description it may be a large specimen of Agaeocera scin- 

 tillans. Kerremans may have been influenced by the fact that A. scin- 

 tillans had not been taken in the United States at the time he wrote; it 

 has since been taken in Sabine Canyon, Arizona, by Dr. Lutz.
