Dromochorus belfragei
The TX specimen from Lake Georgetown has some dark infuscations on the elytra that are not found on D. belfragei. Voucher specimens that have been examined from this general area are also smaller than D.belfragei, and should perhaps be compared with Casey's type of Dromochorus sericeus at USNM ?
