My pleasure.
BTW, the correct citation for Dinacoma marginata (Casey), is 1889 NOT 1886 - as posted on the genus page.

Reference:

Casey, T.L. 1889. Coleopterological Notices. I. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 5:36-198.

Casey's Dinacoma description is on page 174.

Best wishes, ...

Upon further revelation ....
it is "Casey, 1886."

The genus Dinacoma was erected in 1889 but the species was first described as Thyce in 1886 - actually it was as a Polyphylla.
If you search the literature, there are dates of 1885 and 1887.

My oversight and apologies. 1889 is/was stuck in my head from a related project I am working on.
