Dietz 1891:208-209. A. rubellus. Hab.-- Lake Superior.
A unique female in my collection. It might be confounded with the preceding species, its nearest ally, but differss especially in size and form of prothorax. From confusus it is distinguished by the much less pronounced elytral sculpture and the interspaces being smooth.

Blatchley and Leng 1920:296. Anthonomus rubellus Dietz. In key to species of "Group C" and brief description. "Described from a single female from Lake Superior."
