NOTES. It is impossible to distinguish
Coloradoa nodulosa
from
C. viridis
according to the morphological characteristics available in the descriptions, because the measurement data are included in the amplitude of variability of these characters (
Table 2
). Both taxa live on the same plant (
Artemisia annua
). Thus,
C. nodulosa
is considered here as a junior synonym of
C. viridis
.
