When I look at the published revision of the genus
I think we have been identifying these incorrectly (including myself), and that those posted here (as of today) as
P. californiarium
actually match
P. personaria
best. There are two photos labeled as "
P. californiaria pasadenaria
" in
that publication
that may have helped to mislead; they look just like several of these specimens posted at BugGuide. However, that name is treated as a
synonym of
P. personaria
in that publication. When I look at the specimens shown at BOLD, MPG, and here at BugGuide, as of today
all
of them look like specimens of
P. personaria
, and do not seem to match
P. californiaria
as shown there. I think that these should be verified by looking at male genitalia, but I strongly suspect that they should all be moved to the species
P. personaria
.
