Name
Cymatodera obliquefasciata Schaeffer, 1904 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Cymatodera obliquefasciata Schaeffer 1904[1]. 215. TX: Esperanza Ranch, Brownsville [Cameron Co.]; TX. Lectotype designated by Chapin, 1949: 8. (Lecotype deposited in: USNM; sex of lectotype: male).
Material examined
(5 males, 2 females). 2 males: Texas, Hidalgo Co., Bentsen Rio Grande State Park, 16-VI-1974, G. H. Nelsen (FSCA); 3 males and 1 females: USA, Texas, Hidalgo Co., LRGVNWR, MacManus unit, (26°3.228'N, 98°2.9922'W), 5-V-1994, UV light in ebony-guayacan association, J. King and E. Riley (TAMU); 1 female: USA, Texas, Cameron Co. Sabal Palm Grove Reservation site 1, (25°50.8794'N, 97°25.1286'W), UV light in palm forest, J. King and E. Riley (TAMU).
Diagnosis
Cymatodera obliquefasciata can be distinguished from Cymatodera rosalinae based on antennal differences. Cymatodera obliquefasciata presents the antennomeres 1-3 slender and the antennomeres 4-10 strongly serrate (Fig. 16). Conversely, Cymatodera rosalinae has the antennomeres 2–5 slender and the anntenomeres 5–10 feebly serrate in males (Fig. 9) and moderately serrate in females (Fig. 10). Differences in male (Figs 24, 30) and female (Figs 31, 37) terminalia also serve to readily separate these species.
Distribution
Cymatodera obliquefasciata is known from Texas (Opitz, 2010[2]; Wolcott, 1947[3]) and New Mexico (Wolcott, 1947[3]). Barr, in his most recent catalogue (1999, unpublished), points out that the geographical distribution of this species extends southward into north Mexico, yet, no material from Mexico was examined.
