LAMIINAE

Ataxia tibialis Schaeffer.

Hovore et al. (1987) stated that they knew of just seven specimens (all TX: Cameron Co., Sabal Palm Sanctuary) of this species and some had been collected from dead Zanthoxylum sp. (Rutaceae) . Hovore et al. (1987) did not list Zanthoxylum as a larval host as they specifically listed “Larval Hosts” for other species in their monograph. Chemsak and Linsley (1997) apparently erred in their interpretation of information presented in Hovore et al. (1987). Indeed, Garcia et al. (2014) recorded “en Capsicum annum ” for a specimen(s) from Mexico: Tamaulipas, Victoria; unfortunately, this author did not respond to our inquiry for more details. Wild Capsicum (Solanaceae) does occur in the Sabal Palm Sanctuary. DJH, B. Raber, and E. G. Riley collected extensively in the Sabal Palm Sanctuary and other preserves in southern Texas during 2008–2010 and captured only two additional specimens (one male and one female) in a UV light trap in the Sanctuary.
