Paradonus
With recent changes to Paradonus, the western specimens are not conspecific with P. pectoralis. The western species have yet to be revised but at some point, BugGuide records for the NM and CA (and any others west of KS that come along) will have to be moved.
Until such a revision occurs, they can either be left in pectoralis or moved to the genus-level. I don't have a preference, just a heads-up that these sw specimens are not true pectoralis.
