Treatment

Cophes fallax (LeConte) View in CoL ( Fig. 28 View Figures 27–32 )

Comments. Cophes Champion needs to be revised and redefined. The last treatment ( Sleeper 1955) does not cover all species in North America. Range: eastern North America, south to Florida and west to Texas. Habitat: emergent from hickory limbs dead two years and Cassia sp. , collected from maple, woods trash, hollow tree. Collection Method: at lights, sifting, emergence. Biology: unknown other than host plants. Present Study: significantly higher abundance in FWD1 and primary forest.
