Thyanta perditor
(
Fabricius, 1794
)
Distribution:
United States
: AZ, FL, TX (
Stål 1872
,
Rider & Chapin 1992
). (
Mexico
, Central America, West Indies, South America).
Comments:
This species is characterized by having spinose humeral angles. There is also a form of
Thyanta custator accerra
(named
spinosa
by
Ruckes 1957a
) that has the humeral angles more or less spinose. Prior to the work of
Ruckes (1957a)
, many workers referred to specimens with spinose humeral angles from the desert Southwest as this species. In truth,
Rider & Chapin (1992)
only listed two records of this species from the western
United States
: one from the very southern tip of
Texas
, and another in the southeastern corner of
Arizona
. All other records should be referred to
Thyanta custator accerra
.
