SYNONYMY


Taxonomic Comments.   Bright (2019: 376) cited a female specimen of this


  • Pityophthorus liquidambarus Blackman 1921. Miss. Agr. Exp. Stat. Tech. Bull. 10: 14

DISTRIBUTION.

Numbers in parentheses after each geographic unit are the number of distinct collection events in the database for that unit. For exotic species generally only countries are listed for localities outside the New World. For further information on published sources of distribution, check the REFERENCES section.


Distribution Comments.   Equihua & Burgos (1993) listed this species from Oaxaca. This is highly unlikely. There are several other related species of Mexican Pityophthorus that breed in Liquidambar styraciflua and their report is probably a misidentification. Bright (2019: 376) cited a female specimen of this from Haiti.. Whether or not Bright's specimen is correctly identified, it is unlikely to occur in Haiti.

Maps automatically open at the center of the plotted points and the scale is set to encompass all map points. Maps can be resized (scale bar at upper left) and the center moved (place cursor over map and drag) to see other parts of the distribution of the species. Clicking on a map marker will pull up collection event data and a literature citation if present. If any errors are found, please refer to the "series code" which is a unique identifier for a database record in any communications). Coordinates have not been entered for all collection records. Localities outside the New World are not plotted, even though they are listed in the distribution summary and in the table of records.
