Abstract

The pallipes species-group of Eremobates Banks is reviewed following an investigation of the stability of diagnostic characters utilized in distinguishing species of the group and the discovery of new reliable specific characters. Three new species are described: E. docolora from western Colorado, Utah, Montana, and Wyoming; E. dentilis from southeastern Arizona; and E. woodruffi from the Big Bend region of Texas. Eremobates arizonica (Roewer) is resurrected from synonymy with E. pallipes (Say), and Eremothera barberi Muma from southern Texas is reassigned to this group of the genus Eremobates.
