Taeniopteryx burksi Ricker & Ross, 1968: 1425

Description

Taeniopteryx burksi Ricker & Ross

(Figs. 2, 13, 20)

Taeniopteryx nivalis: Needham & Claassen, 1925:240. In part

Taeniopteryx maura: Frison, 1942:248. In part Taeniopteryx burksi Ricker & Ross, 1968:1425.

Holotype ♂ (Illinois Natural History Survey), Urbana, Champaign Co., Illinois

Taeniopteryx burksi: Stewart, 2000:63.

Material examined. Mississippi. Tishomingo Co., Rock Quarry Creek, Tishomingo State Park, 10 February 1979, B. Stark, P. Lago, P. Hartfield, C. Cooper, 2 ♂.

Remarks. These two specimens, recorded by Stark (1979), have a very slight, rounded femoral process, similar to that shown in Stewart (2000) and quite unlike the spine found on T. maura at other localities in the state. Ricker & Ross (1968) report the species from several sites in Alabama and Tennessee. No new records are available, and T. burksi is known only from Tishomingo Co. (Fig. 2). The male paraproct is shown in Fig. 13 and the female 8 th sternum in Fig. 20.
