Barytettix humphreysii ? - Barytettix humphreysii - male

Barytettix humphreysii ? - Barytettix humphreysii - Male
Fort Huachuca, Cochise County, Arizona, USA
August 1, 2010
Chunky build. Looks like a color match for several nymphs already displayed here. This nymph in an area of the fort where I only see adult Humphrey's. On some of the ad Humphrey's here the lower part of the wing can be party black. Not sure what the defining characters are for the nymphs of Barytettix and Conalcaea.

Moved from Conalcaeini.

Looks correct to me
Without having ever reared any through, I'm not 100% certain, but there seem to be constant pattern differences in the nymphs of the two species. Most obvious is the hind femur, which in B. humphreysii seems to have the broken dark pattern of diagonal bars, while that of C. huachucana seems to have a solid black upper half to the outer side.

Uhg - I these duplicate comments. Not sure what about BugGuide software, the internet connection, my computer, or me causes them - no matter how careful I am. This one happened in mid-editing (apparently as a reply to itself), and I didn't notice until now. Since there is a corrected name, I'll leave this duplicate one (and I can't edit the first one anymore). I'd love to learn how to weed these out after the fact, so they don't clutter things up. Sorry about this, to everyone.
