Explanation of Names

Tripudia inquaesita (Barnes & Benjamin, 1924) was replaced by Tripudia damozela (Dyar, 1914) when the two species were synonymized in Lafontaine & Schmidt (2010)(1). T. inquaesita was raised back to full species status in Lafontaine & Schmidt (2015)(2). T. damozela is reassigned to 9002.2 and T. inquaesita is again assigned to 9002, the number used in the 1983 Hodges Checklist.

Range

T. inquaesita occurs in southern Arizona and probably in the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico and T. damozela occurs in southeastern Mexico northward in the Sierra Madre Oriental to western Texas. Differences in maculation and barcode are noted. - Lafontaine & Schmidt (2015)(2)
