The west coast cismontane P. blandus View in CoL complex consists of several color forms that do not follow any particular biogeographic pattern. There is considerable gradation of these phenotypes in all parts of the range, thereby making distinction of the Sierra Nevada populations (picipes), and the southern forms (propinquus) difficult. Phymatodes b. propinquus View in CoL was described from three specimens, and P. b. picipes View in CoL from five specimens. Together with the nominate taxon, these three forms seem best treated as one variable species throughout its range from southern Oregon to southern California.
Specimens examined: 112, including the types of P. b. blandus , P. b. picipes , P. b. concolor , and P. b. propinquus
