Pseudomethoca athamas ( Fox, 1899)
Pseudomethoca athamas Fox, 1899: 225 , ♁.
Pseudomethoca dentifrontalis Bradley in Mickel, 1924: 11, ♀. New synonym.
Material examined. I examined 114 males of P. athamas (CASC, CSCA, EMUS, FSCA, UCDC, UCRC, USNM) and 48 females of P. dentifrontalis (CASC, CSCA, FSCA, UCDC, UMSP) .
Distribution. Mexico (Baja California) and USA (California, Oregon).
Remarks. The sex association of these species has been informally recognized in collections and on various websites (pers. obs.). They are the only similarly sized small-bodied species known from Pacific regions of California and have been collected from the same localities numerous times. Pseudomethoca dentifrontalis is here formally recognized as a junior synonym of P. athamas .
