SYNONYMY


Taxonomic Comments.   Blackman (1922: 88) referred specimens collected at Natchez, Mississippi to this species. Wood (1954, 1982) did not explicitly reference these specimens. After seeing the types of sparsus Hopkins, similis Hopkins, tridentatus Hopkins and other material from southern Texas and northeastern Mexico I have come to the conclusion that this is a species in the group formerly placed in Trischidias and is probably a synonym of minutissimus Wood (=woodi Johnson).

Maps automatically open at the center of the plotted points and the scale is set to encompass all map points. Maps can be resized (scale bar at upper left) and the center moved (place cursor over map and drag) to see other parts of the distribution of the species. Clicking on a map marker will pull up collection event data and a literature citation if present. If any errors are found, please refer to the "series code" which is a unique identifier for a database record in any communications). Coordinates have not been entered for all collection records. Localities outside the New World are not plotted, even though they are listed in the distribution summary and in the table of records.
