Blatchley and Leng (1916:309-311) placed A. tectus LeConte, A. squamulatus Dietz, A. molochinus Dietz, A. rufipes LeConte, and A. disjunctus LeConte in "Group G" which they characterized as "...from 2.7 to 3.5 mm. in size ... the upper and lower surfaces more or less clothed with scales, which vary in shape from almost round to very elongate and hair-like. ... All have the femora armed with a single tooth beneath."
Anthonomus squamulatus Dietz 1891:230. Blatchley and Leng (1916:309-310) placed this species in their "Group G" of Anthonomus. They provided a brief description and stated "Lake Co., Ind., May 30. Described from Wisconsin and Missouri. Smaller than tectus with shorter, more robust beak and bisinuate tibiae."
Anthonomus squamulatus Dietz 1891:230. Dietz 1891:231. Hab. Wisconsin, Missouri. Two males in my collection. A very distinct species; differs from tectus by its smaller size, short and robust beak, and the anterior and middle tibiae strongly bisinuate and subangulate along the internal margin; also closely allied to rufipes Lec. by the form of the rostrum and tibiae, but is smaller and the prosternum is short in front of the coxae.
