Eulechriops elongatus Champion, previously described from Morelos, México, is reported from Arizona for the first time. The species is redescribed and distinguished from the eastern North American species E. minutus (LeConte), genitalia are figured, and new distribution data are given for both species. Members of the minutus group appear to be associated with oaks and additional undescribed species are known from México. One or two specimens each of at least two and possibly three apparently undescribed Eulechriops species are known from Arizona and Texas.
