Cesonia species - Cesonia classica

Moved

Moved from Cesonia gertschi. Realized that in gertschi the dark median line should not reach the front of the abdomen.

Cesonia gertschi

I just finished looking over the revision and working on the genus page. I'm pretty sure this is gertschi. The range and pattern match. I'm going to move forward and create the guide page because I'm pretty confident, but I'd still like someone else to look over the image and the species description just to double check.

Is that a possibility for Arizona. It's not on the list Lynette posted above.

distribution

Platnick, in his revision, gave the range as SW Calif. and Baja. However, his paper was published 30 years ago. Maybe the range has expanded. BTW, you can get the revision free from the AMNH.

Nice find

It looks like in AZ you have Cesonia classica, gertschi, rothi, sincera & ubicki.
