Hansen, J.A. and R.L. Westcott. (2023). A new synonym of Acmaeodera opacula LeConte, 1858 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) and lectotype designations for Acmaeodera amabilis Horn, 1878 and Acmaeodera disjuncta Fall, 1899. Insecta Mundi 0984: 1–4.
Abstract:
Lectotypes are designated for Acmaeodera amabilis Horn, 1878 and Acmaeodera disjuncta Fall, 1899 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae). The defining characters of Acmaeodera opacula LeConte, 1858 are compared with those of A. disjuncta Fall, 1899, as well as habitat and host plant. Acmaeodera disjuncta is synonymized with A. opacula. The distinguishing characters of congeners whose general appearance at times can resemble A. opacula are discussed, and a new state record for Mexico is provided for A. opacula.

Horn, G.H. (1878). Revision of the species of Acmaeodera of the United States. Transactions of the American Entomological Society, 7: 2-27.
The number of new species which have accumulated in our collections since the latest synopsis (Leconte, Trans. Am. Philos. Soc. 1859), has nearly equalled the number then known and of these fourteen have remained to the present time unnamed. While feeling the necessity of having these described I have until now been deterred from attempting any arrangement of our entire series by tlie remarks of Mr. Crotch (Proc. Acad. 1873, p. 89), as follows: "but I am entirely unable to discover any characters except the variable ones of color, sculpture and form ; so that the limits of species appear to be merely opinionative." Possibly the following pages may show quite to the contrary.
