The Distribution and Systematics of Ozophora Atropicta Barber, with the Description of a New Species from the Neotropics
Abstract
The distribution and geographic variation of Ozophora atropicta Barber is analyzed. A discussion is given of the likelihood of the present distribution being due to dispersal, vicariance or a combination of the above. Ozophora heydoni Barber and Ashlock is considered a junior synonym of atropicta. Ozophora parapicta is described as a new species from Central and South America. The 5th instar nymph of the latter is briefly described and compared with that of Ozophora concava Distant. Charts and graphs of intraspecific variation in atropicta are included as is a dorsal view illustration of atropicta and figures of the male genitalia of both species.Downloads
