| Taxonomic Notes: |
Neotelphusa sequax (Haworth, 1828), n. comb., is transferred from the genus Teleiodes, Lee & Brown (2008), Zootaxa, 1818: 36. This species was apparently first added to the NA checklist in Zeller (1873). Based on the scarcity of verified records and the historic absence of the know host plant, its status in North America is unclear. |
