Natural History

Primarily found on juniper. In my collections (17-19 June 1985) from oak-juniper-pine woodlands in south central Arizona, 9 males 17 females were beaten from junipers, 2 females from oaks and 1 males 3 females from Cercocarpus. Collected at elevations from 1200 to 2200 m. Most males collected in June (May-2 records, June-8, July-2, November-1); most females in June and July (June-7 records, July-5, August-2). Jung and Roth (1974) collected this species in their zone 2 in the Chiricahua Mountains (1460-1700 m elevation).

Distribution

Southern Arizona, southeastern New Mexico, and Chihuahua.

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
