Linsley, E.G. & J.O. Martin. 1933. Notes on some longicorns from subtropical Texas (Coleop.: Cerambycidae). Entomological News, 44(7): 178-183.

Since the subtropical insect fauna of Brownsville, Texas, was first made famous by Townsend, and later by Wickbam, Schwarz, and Schaeffer, this interesting region has been sought by many collectors. During recent years the development of good roads and improved methods of transportation have eliminated the necessity for spending long periods of time in travelling to and from Southern Texas. Brownsville is on the direct air route to Central America and Mexico and may be reached by air from almost any point in Eastern United States. The path of the motorist is made easy by paved roads from California or New York. What a change from the days when Prof. Wickham first bumped and skidded his way to Brownsville in a stage coach!
