N, 1984, Tim Christiansen. New state record. Exochomus townsendi is recorded from four locales in Colorado and from Chihuahua, Mexico (Gordon 1974). Thus, this record represents the northernmost collection of E. townsendi. Records of E. townsendi in Colorado and now southeastern Wyoming are sympatric with the southeastern distribution of Exochomus aethiops (Bland), a morphologically similar species (Gordon 1985). The specimen of E. townsendi from Wyoming differs morphologically from E. aethiops in having the epipleuron less strongly descending, lateral elytral margin less explanate, and lateral margins of the pronotum and elytra appearing continuous (Gordon 1974).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03874C7AFFF47B79269BFBF2DD0EFA3A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This subspecies of Hippodamia moesta LeConte is recorded from California, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana and Colorado (Gordon 1985). Thus, the records from Wyoming are not surprising, and they bridge a gap in the known geographic distribution of H. moesta bowditchi.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03874C7AFFF47B7A26D7F9E6DFAAFEA1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This native European species is considered invasive as it has spread rapidly over the continent (Snyder and Evans 2006), and because it consumes non-target non-pest prey, such as a native aphid, an endangered butterfly, and native aphidophagous lady beetles (Schellhorn et al. 2005; Rand and Louda 2006; Evans et al. 2011). Coccinella septempunctata has been found in states bordering Wyoming since the late 1980s and 1990 (Rice 1992; Hesler and Kieckhefer 2008; Hesler et al. 2009). Thus, the first two collection records from 1991 were consistent with the advent of C. septempunctata in the intermountain region of western North America. Moreover, the first record from January 1991 suggests collection of an over- wintering adult, and thus C. septempunctata was likely present in Wyoming as early as 1990. Several of the additional, more recent records from the LLP database indicate that this non-native species is now distributed throughout Wyoming.</p> <p>The new records of coccinellids presented here support the contention that periodic examination of undetermined material may yield new knowledge about the geographic distribution of beetle species (McCorquodale and Bondrup-Nielsen 2004; Hesler and Kieckhefer 2008). The additional records of C. septempunctata provided in the LLP database demonstrated its utility as a reference source for studying the geographic distribution of coccinellids (Fothergill et al. 2010; Losey et al. 2012). The new records in this paper may also facilitate larger works on the regional coccinellid fauna and in tracking and understanding the geographic spread of invasive coccinellids such as C. septempunctata. Further study is needed to determine particular habitat and prey associations of these four, newly recorded coccinellid species in Wyoming.</p> <p>Pinned specimens of beetles that represent the primary state records in this paper were deposited as voucher specimens in the University of Wyoming Insect Museum, Laramie.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03874C7AFFF77B7A2487FE51DDF8FC5C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
