Cacama dissimilis
(
Distant,
1881
)
.
This species has been reported from
Mexico
, Texas and
Arizona
(
Metcalf
1963
a
). However, the
Arizona
specimens actually represent a new species (Sanborn et al. unpublished) and the Texas report appears to be erroneous as we have never encountered
C. dissimilis
in Texas nor found
C. dissimilis
collected in Texas in visits to more than
100
entomological collections.
Cacama dissimilis
is considered to be a Mexican species. It has been reported from Baja California Sur, Espiritu Santo Island and Ballanda Island (
Metcalf
1963
a
). The author has identified specimens from Hidalgo and Sinaloa.
