LeConte, J.L. 1866. Revision of the Dasytini of the United States. Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Science of Philadelphia, 19: 349-361.

Having recently had occasion to examine all the species of Dasytini in my collection, I have detected among specimens received since the publication of my previous memoir, in 1852, several undescribed species. In order to fix more definitely the characters, not only of the new species, but of those previously described, I have prepared a sketch of the genera and analytical tables of the species before me.
