| Taxonomic: Notes |
Aristotelia corallina Walsingham, 1909, previously recognized within the North American fauna north of Mexico in Kimball (1965) and Lee et al. (2009), is treated as unverified by Lee & Landry (in Pohl & Nanz (eds.) 2023). Specimens from north of Mexico identified as "corallina" in many collections and at BOLD appear to represent several cryptic species; it is unclear which, if any, refer to "true" corallina (Baer 2018). |
