Salbia cassidalis

Moved - Confirmed by Ed Knudson

Moved from ID Request.

"The ID is correct, but S. cassidalis was previously collected in Hidalgo Co., TX, Alamo, 3-XII-13, by Charles Bordelon and it was reported in the Lep. Soc. Season Summary for 2013. It is certainly a new record for Brewster Co., TX, but not for the US. This specimen will be soon donated to the McGuire Center in Gainesville FL."

Your ID looks good to me

I am going to email Ed Knudson, Brian Scholtens, and Alma Solis about it to get confirmation on the ID and inquire whether this represents a new US record. You wouldn't have happened to collect it, would have you?

Great and thanks for your tim

Great and thanks for your time spent here. Wish I had known it had already been reported from the valley.

Goodness gracias, I don't know how you found that one or the Mexican records, but it looks like you might be right. I will call this one to the attention of Steve Nanz and Kyhl. At this time of year I don't know just who is "watching".

Thanks, Wikipedia also mentions the species as occurring in Mexico.
