Stiphrosoma croceipes Uhler, 1893: 373 (orig. desc.).

Strongylocoris croceipes: Van Duzee, 1921: 136 View in CoL (disc., in part).

Slaterocoris croceipes: Kelton, 1968: 1128 View in CoL , fig. 13 (disc.); Knight, 1970: 253, fig. 14, (disc.); Henry and Wheeler, 1988: 449 (catalog); Schuh, 1995: 197 (catalog).

DIAGNOSIS: Distinguished from other apache -group species by the variable bright yellowish to orange-brown distal portions of the femora, the yellowish orange tibiae (fig. 12); the sparse, recumbent, moderately long, golden brown vestiture (pl. 4F); and the male genitalia with the apex of the basal lobe in the right paramere usually serrate (fig. 21A, D–I) and the endosomal spicule with distal portion of the ventral lobe somewhat expanded and moderately serrate (fig. 22A, B, D, E, G). Slaterocoris croceipes differs from S. sheridani in antennal segment II longer than the foretibia, mostly yellowish to orange-brown femora, and untwisted dorsal lobe of the endosomal spicule. The more sparse dorsal vestiture, mostly pale antennal segment I, pale yellowish orange femur, shorter hemelytron, and the twisted dorsal lobe of the endosomal spicule (fig. 60D, E) of S. sparsus will distinguish it from S. croceipes ; both species can have the femora mostly pale, although the femora in S. sparsus are usually more extensively pale yellowish orange than in S. croceipes , whose palest specimens have a more orange or reddish-brown tint. When antennal segment I is pale in the female, S. croceipes , S. sheridani , and S. sparsus can be difficult to separate. Antennal segment II is on average longer and the costal margin is somewhat curved, and the pale portions of the femora are pale orange-brown in S. croceipes . In the latter two species antennal segment II is generally shorter, the costal margin is arcuate, and the pale portions of the femora have a more yellow tint.

REDESCRIPTION: Male: Moderately large, elongate; length 3.15–5.28, width 1.58–1.90 (pl. 1). COLORATION: Antennal segments I and II and base of femur black, variable distal portion of femur pale orange-brown, tibia yellow (fig. 12). VESTITURE: Consisting of sparse, recumbent to suberect, moderate length, golden brown setae (pl. 4F). STRUCTURE: Costal margin of hemelytron curved to subparallel; frons smooth (fig. 20A); antennal segment II longer than foretibia; mesothoracic spiracle and metathoracic scent-efferent system as in figure 20E. GENITALIA: Tergal process: Short, with one sharp point. Endosomal spicule: Distal portion of ventral lobe variable, somewhat narrow (fig. 22F) or slightly expanded (fig. 22B), usually with moderately dense marginal serration, length short to moderately long; dorsal lobe parallel sided, predominantly wide distally (fig. 22E), sometimes narrow (fig. 22F), terminating with apical serration of variable number and size; lateral edge usually without conspicuous medial and basal spine (fig. 22A–H). Right paramere: Number of apical spines variable, basal lobe usually with apex serrate (fig. 21A–I).

Female: Moderately large, obovate; length 3.45–4.20, width 1.60–2.15 (pl. 1). COLORATION: Sometimes antennal segment II dusky to pale. STRUCTURE: Costal margin curved. GENITALIA: As in species group except: Ventral labiate plate: Strongly produced, base triangular, moderately wide, apex entire or cleft (fig. 23A, B). Interramal lobe: Dorsomedial margin with short process (fig. 23D, E).

HOSTS: Many specimens, from a large number of collection events, indicate that Ericameria nauseosa (Asteraceae) is a host plant. Other probable host plants are E. parryi var. vulcanica and Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus . A number of specimens were also collected from species of Artemisia ( A. filifolia and A. tridentata ) and Chrysothamnus . The latter generic identification could pertain to either Chrysothamnus of Ericameria considering the current state of botanical taxonomy. The asteraceous genus, Aster , and three non-asteraceous plants are considered to be sitting records.

DISTRIBUTION: From the mountain ranges of southern California that border the western portion of the Mojave Desert, north along the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada, isolated ranges of the Great Basin in Nevada and Utah, lower elevations of northwestern Colorado, and scattered populations in the Great Plains of Colorado, South Dakota, and Texas ( map 3 View Map 3 ).

COLLECTION SUMMARY: 719 specimens from 112 collection events with the earliest record from April in California and the majority of specimens from June to early August.

DISCUSSION: The original description of croceipes ( Uhler, 1893) stated that it was ‘‘based upon two males specimens from Los Angeles, Cal., which were sent to me by Mr. D.W. Coquillett.’’ Kelton received these two males, deposited in the USNM, and designated one the lectotype ( Kelton, 1968), stating that it bore the No. 69539. At the beginning of the current project both males were found at the CNC without labels indicating the lectotype designation or the USNM type number. To correct the ambiguous lectotype designation, I have chosen the male in the best condition, and applied two labels to it in order to stabilize the concept of croceipes: AMNH _PBI 00122110 and LECTOTYPE 8 Stiphrosoma croceipes Uhler, 1893 , desig. by M.D. Schwartz, 2010 [red label]. I also labeled the other syntype [right hemelytron missing] to recognize it as the paralectotype (AMNH_PBI 00070120).

In the original description, ‘‘several specimens were collected at American Fork, [UT], June 22 [91]’’ and included in croceipes , by Uhler (1893). During the course of this current project seven specimens (38, 4♀) fitting the original description have been located—six in the USNM and one female in the CAS. The CAS specimen has an additional printed label, ‘‘ Heideman [sic] Collector’ ’; I assume Heidemann collected all seven specimens. Van Duzee (1921) probably included the latter specimen in his treatment of the genus (see Other Specimens Examined). The seven Utah specimens are not considered to be syntypes and along with the lectotypes and paralectotype have been returned to the museum of provenance .

Easternmost specimens are somewhat smaller than western specimens. The size difference is easily apprehended by comparing the length of antennal segment II in both sexes; those from Colorado, South Dakota, and Texas are shorter (0.80–0.938, 0.78– 0.81 ♀) than those from California, Nevada, and Utah (1.00–1.318, 1.06–1.23 ♀). The hemelytron length in males is conspicuously longer in California specimens (total body length 4.13–5.28) than in those from the remainder of the range (3.15–4.10).

As noted for S. apache , variation also occurs in the number and conformation of the apical spines and apical serration on the basal lobe of the right paramere in S. croceipes (cf. fig. 21A–I). Variable structure was observed during this study in specimens from California, Nevada, Texas, and Utah. The dorsal and ventral lobes of the endosomal spicule (fig. 22A–H) are also variable across the distribution of the species. The variation of the width of the dorsal lobe was deemed great enough to code S. croceipes as polymorphic for this character (37-0, 1; table 2 View TABLE 2 ).

Specimens of S. croceipes from Oelrich, South Dakota, and near Lefors, Texas, in the eastern reaches of the distribution, have femoral coloration as observed in the specimens from the western portion of the range in California, Nevada, and Utah. The proportions of basal black, medial orangebrown, and apical yellow coloration regions on the femora are variable across the distribution and within populations. The extent of black varies from a basal onefourth to one-half, with the reciprocal extent of orange-brown varying from a medial three-quarters to one-half. The orange-brown color also grades from a darkest tone to apical yellow in a variable fashion.
