Anelaphus asperus Lingafelter 2020, new combination
Description
Anelaphus asperus (Knull), new combination
(Fig. 5 e–f)
Gymnopsyra aspera Knull 1962: 105.
Discussion. Linsley (1963) and Monné and Nearns (2020) included Arizona and Bezark (2019) added New Mexico in the range of this species that was described from Big Bend in southwestern Texas (Knull 1962). However, no specimens outside of western Texas (Big Bend region) have been examined, and its occurrence west of Texas is doubtful. Because Anelaphus is masculine and the original genus, Gymnopsyra is feminine, the epithet is changed from aspera to asperus.
