NOTE ON SPECIFIC STATUS OF TRIMEROTROPIS VERRUCULATA AND T. SUFFUSA (ORTHOPTERA: ACRIDIDAE: LOCUSTINAE)
In a series of papers (Vickery and Nagy 1973; Vickery et al. 1974; Vickery and Kevan 1983), 2 members of the genus Trimerotropis were considered to be subspecies, T. verrruculata verruculata (Kirby) and T. verruculata suffusa Scudder. This relationship was based in part on a statement by Hebard (192...
