Cercyonis pegala ssp. texana

Observer

plateauville

Date

May 18, 2020 10:04 AM CDT

Place

San Saba County, US-TX, US (Google, OSM)

Description

Subspecies based on ranges described in Emmel, T., 1969. Also, more recently, a range map was published by Calhoun, J., Journal of Lepidopterists' Society, 70(1): 20-46, March 2016. Despite Wikipedia listing Texas as the range of similar-looking subspecies C. pegala alope, this is apparently incorrect. That subspecies is not even found west of the Mississippi River.
