Similar to  O. arcuatusin general aspect, vesica, and female genitalia, but distinguished by more rugose pronotum bearing strong, pale setae and anterior process of leπ paramere without distinct long seta on inner surface, as  O. arcuatus(fig. 6) and in female by common oviduct with much smaller sclerotized spots laterally than in  O. arcuatusand sclerotized rings of dorsal labiate plate more pointed apically (fig. 11); further the rather fuscous colored specimens similar to  O. montanusbut distinguished by the much stronger and erect pronotal setae in contrast to recumbent and fleecy pronotal setae in  O. montanus,and vesica in  O. montanus(fig. 5) much stronger than in  O. bakeri(fig. 5).  REDESCRIPTION: Male:Total length 6.61–7.77, length apex clypeus-cuneus fracture 4.84– 5.42, width across pronotum1.36–1.64. COLORATION: Corium either brown with pale or reddish white band parallel to claval suture reaching apex of clavus or with pale band extending around inner apical angle of corium reaching to pale basal part of cuneus. SURFACE AND VESTITURE: General aspect rugose and dull; pronotum and scutellum rugose and dull; pronotum with strong, erect, pale setae longer than diameter of first antennal segment. STRUC- TURE: Labium reaching to mesocoxa. GENITALIA: Anterior process of leπ paramere without distinct long seta on inner surface (fig. 6).  Female:Total length 5.12–5.62, width across pronotum 0.94–1.10. COLORATION: Head, pronotum, mesoscutum, scutellum, and hemelytra brown-orange. SURFACE AND VESTI- TURE: General aspect dull; pronotum bearing strong, erect, pale setae. STRUCTURE: Second antennal segment very strongly inflated distally (fig. 3). GENITALIA: Sclerotized rings of dorsal labiate plate rounded basally and apically; posterior wall with bifurcate interramal sclerites, distinctly pointed medially (fig. 11).  HOSTS:  Artemisia cana, A. tridentata,  Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus(Asteraceae),  Lupinussp. ( Fabaceae), and  Purshia tridentata(Rosaceae).  DISTRIBUTION: United States: California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming(map 1). Knight (1968a)mentioned that  bakeriis a species occurring mainly at higher elevations.  DISCUSSION: Knight (1968b)described  Teleorhinus oregonibased on two males from the summit of Bly Mt. in Oregon. He distinguished this species from all other known  Teleorhinusspecies by its dull, opaque pronotum, the only character he proposed. He apparently placed it in  Teleorhinusbecause of its rugose pronotum and scutellum, a main character of  Teleorhinus,and the completely fuscous dorsal surface. The holotypeand paratype, the only known specimens of  T. oregoni,present the following characters for transferring  oregonifrom  Teleorhinusto  Orectoderusand for synonymizing it with  bakeri:the dull, distinct trapezoidal pronotum, the strong, pale, erect pronotal setae, and the form of the vesica and the leπ and right parameres. The vesica of  O. bakeriand  O. arcuatusis distinctly smaller compared to that in all other species of  Orectoderus(fig. 5);  bakeriand  arcuatusare the only two species within  Orectoderusin which the corium sometimes shows a red coloration. SPECIMENS EXAMINED:  USA: California: Mono Co.:Sardine Creek, 38.30695°N 119.58989°W, 2591 m, 28 Jun 1951, P.D.
