corallina Walsingham, 1909 (Aristotelia) UNVER.
Type locality: Amula [Almolonga] Mexico. |
| Taxonomic Notes: |
Aristotelia corallina Walsingham, 1909 is recognized within the North American fauna north of Mexico in Kimball (1965) and Lee et al. (2009). However, "true" corallina from north of Mexico is unverified. "A. corallina" is treated as a species complex in Baer (2018), J. Lepdid. Soc, 72(1):44-52. The many specimens from north of Mexico identified as "corallina" at BOLD (12/8/2020) appear to represent several cryptic species. It is unclear which, if any, refer to "true" corallina. |
