Type data

This species was described based on two males and two females collected by Cockerell in Mesilla Valley, United States, foraging on Caesalpinia falcaria . One of those females was found at ANSP and one male at NMNH. Both specimens bear a label “cotype” and are in good condition. According to the treatment that Cockerell gave to his type specimens, both these exemplars must be paratypes. The male has the following data label: Las Cruces Nm [printed]\ on Caesalpinia stricta May 18. (Ckll) [handwritten]\ C. rhodopus cotype. ♂. [handwritten]\ California Academy of Sciences Type No. [printed] 15473 [handwritten]. The female paratype has the following data label: Las Cruces Nm [printed]\ on Caesalpinia stricta May 18. (Ckll) [handwritten]\ C. rhodopus cotype. ♀ [handwritten]\ [red label] type [printed]\ 1980 Loan to USNM from Acad. of Nat. Science at Philadelphia [printed].
