Valentine, B.D. (1961). New Synonymy in Nearctic Anthribidae. The Coleopterists' Bulletin, 15(2): 33-35.

A recent trip to the United States National Museum in Washington gave me the opportunity to study the type specimens of North American Anthrihidae deposited there. This collection contains holotypes of all anthribids described by Charles Schaeffer and W. Dwight Pierce (except Toxolopis sextuberculatus Schaeffer). Examination of the type material there has revealed that four of the species described by Pierce are synonyms of previously described forms. The synonymy is as follows.
