Abstract

Lectotype designations are provided for Acmaeodera conoidea Fall, 1899, A. recticollis Fall, 1899, Anthaxia (Haplanthaxia) sculptipennis Obenberger, 1924, and A. (H.) oneili Obenberger, 1931. The following new synonymy is proposed: Phaenops caseyi (Obenberger, 1944), syn. nov. = P. lecontei (Obenberger, 1928), Phaenops horni (Obenberger, 1944), syn. nov. = P. fulvoguttata (Harris, 1829), and Anthaxia (Haplanthaxia) oneili Obenberger, 1931, syn. nov. = A. (H.) sculptipennis Obenberger, 1924).
