Taxonomy Comments

THis species is questionably distinct from ferox Blandford. In Wood's treatment (2007) ferox is found from Mexico through Colombia. I have seen specimens from Central Brazil that 'fit' within ferox so the 2 are not geographically distinct. While some specimens show the characters cited by Wood in his description, these do not appear to be distinctive.

Hosts

  • trap > suction trap
  • trap > flight intercept > ethanol
