Calligrapha (Zygogramma) continua (LeConte) , new combination

( Fig. 1D )

Chrysomela continua LeConte 1868: 57 .

As noted by Riley et al. (2003), Zygogramma fasciatipennis Jacoby 1891: 247 is a junior synonym. “ Zygogramma continua ” has been reported from Alberta, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, and Mexico (Riley et al. 2003). Beyond this, we have examined specimens of C. continua from California, Idaho, and Wyoming (BYUC). The host plant is Gymnolomia multiflora (Nutt.) Rothr. ( Asteraceae ) ( Clark et al. 2004).
