Comments. Lynch (1958) reported this species from 43 separate localities in Adams, Grant, Lincoln and Spokane counties, but did not provide site specific data. All the Lynch material examined at the USNM came from the vicinity of Creston and Davenport, Washington, so we cannot be certain that our Washington localities are new. We did verify that the type locality still exists, and supports B. cornigera . Fugate (1992) first reported B. cornigera from Oregon from Nye in Umatilla County. Our collections from that county are close to his site.
