Moved, can't rule-out V. arizonicus from these images

Moved from Deilelater physoderus.

Ah, OK!

They were already in Deilelater so I just moved them to D.physoderus, didn't even consider V.arizonicus, sorry!

honestly, I don't think there is evidence Deilelater occur in AZ

Costa didn't record D. physoderus west of Texas in a revision. The only published record that indicates Arizona is the Florida checklist by Peck and Thomas (1998) and those records could be from misidentified or mislabeled specimens.

arizona Deileater physoderus

I think Blaine's right regarding physoderus' questionable occurence in AZ, but Costa did record it in AZ on page 108..probably a mistake or perpetuated mistake from Peck&Thomas....

OK, good to know!

Huh, good to know!

If that's the case, then there are probably quite a few Vesperelater arizonicus images in the guide! Hope someone is able to confirm your suspicions! :)
