Abstract

Descriptions, illustrations, and distributions of adults of 3 species: schottii (=arizonae) from Arizona to southern Texas and northern Mexico; hayekae n. sp. (=schottii of authors) from Kansas to southern Texas; sallei from Louisiana to Florida to New York. Identification key. The larvae, unknown, are undoubtedly predaceous on larvae (grubs) of Scarabaeidae and other soft bodied insects.
