+
+
+
+
+Remarks.
+A combination of characters in the male places
+
+L. cochimi
+
+in the Stygica Group of the subgenus
+
+Poreospasta
+Horn
+
+as defined by
+Selander (1960)
+. This includes the presence of mesal hooks on the gonostyli (the apical section of the gonoforceps,
+Fig. 7
+), unmodified legs, and subclavate, not incrassate, antennae (
+Figs. 5, 6
+). The Stygica Group, with 12 previously described species, is primarily distributed in cismontane
+California
+with only
+
+L. stygica
+
+and
+
+L. auriculata
+
+occurring more broadly. In
+Selander’s (1960)
+keys (general key and key to Stygica Group species),
+
+L. cochimi
+
+runs to
+
+L. stygica
+
+.
+
+
+
+Lytta cochimi
+
+is separated from
+
+L. stygica
+
+by several characters. The orange macula on the head capsule is considerably larger in
+
+L. cochimi
+
+, occupying almost half the head width (
+Fig. 2
+); in
+
+L. stygica
+
+it is comprised of a small oval spot (
+Fig. 4
+). The antennae are subclavate in
+
+L. cochimi
+
+(
+Figs. 5, 6
+) and the antennomeres are relatively short with antennomeres IV–X about as wide as long in females. The antennae of
+
+L. stygica
+
+are subfiliform and antennomeres IV–X are clearly longer than wide in both sexes. The hind tibial spurs provide another distinction. In
+
+L. cochimi
+
+the outer spur is very broad,
+ca.
+3× the width of the inner spur (
+Fig. 11
+); in
+
+L. stygica
+
+the outer spur is, at most, twice the width of the inner spur (
+Fig. 12
+). The rather deeply incised apex of ventrite
+6 in
+the male of
+
+L. cochimi
+
+(
+Fig. 10
+) contrasts with the considerably shallower emargination in
+
+L. stygica
+
+. The two dorsal hooks of the aedeagus also should separate
+
+L. cochimi
+
+(
+Fig. 9
+) from most
+
+L. stygica
+
+males which, according to
+Selander (1960)
+, only rarely bear a weak second hook [in
+Selander (1960)
+the dorsal hooks are referred to as ventral].
+
+
+The similarity of
+
+L. cochimi
+
+and
+
+L. stygica
+
+does not imply close relationship. Their similarity rests on the fact that both lack distinctive features of other members of the Stygica Group. Distinguishing features of
+
+L
+.
+cochimi
+
+that are shared with other members of the group include the enlarged orange macula on the head and the considerably enlarged outer hind tibial spur, also occurring in
+
+Lytta sublaevis
+(Horn)
+
+(
+cf
+.
+Figs. 2, 3
+) and the two dorsal hooks on the aedeagus found also in
+
+Lytta crotchi
+(Horn)
+
+and
+
+Lytta hoppingi
+(LeConte)
+
+. Features shared by
+
+L. cochimi
+
+and
+
+L. sublaevis
+
+are likely derived but questionably homologous. Phenetically, the two species are quite distinct.
+
+Lytta sublaevis
+
+, a central
+California
+species, is unique for
+
+Lytta
+
+in being wingless with abbreviated elytra, appearing superficially similar to species of the genus
+
+Meloe
+Linnaeus. Also
+
+, the male genitalia and antennal structure further distinguish the two.

+
+
+Lytta auriculata
+
+is a common chaparral and desertic southern
+California
+and
+Arizona
+species (
+Selander 1960
+). The only previous record for the peninsula was based on
+three specimens
+and given as “Metero Beach” by
+Selander (1960)
+. Selander questionably assigned the locality to the northern state but it was not located. We have examined two of these specimens (EMEC); both are on the same pin. The third specimen was not located. Clearly, the label was misread as “Metero Beach”. The first letter of the locality is illegible but the remainder is indicated as “_stero Beach”. It seems likely that the label was intended to read “Estero Beach” which is in Ensenada.
