  1. Mattigramma • Five species in SE Arizona • Matigramma repentina Franclemont (1986) • Matigramma inopinata Franclemont (1986) • Matigramma rubrosuffusa Hampson (1913) • Matigramma emmilta Franclemont (1986) • Matigramma adoceta Franclemont (1986)

  2. Don Lafontaine’s comments • There are five Matigramma in AZ after Franclemont’s revision of the genus (Jour. Kansas Ent. Soc. 59(1): 143-172.). They are all best identified by good differences in the genitalia but I have sorted out 4 drawers of the genus and color trends are apparent and allow most things to be names -WITH PRACTISE! • Two species are basically gray-brown, • repentina, with more crisply marked lines is only in SE AZ and is very rare; • inopinata (blackish gray, SE AZ to W TX) is the common one. • Two species are reddish brown, • rubrosuffusa is common only in eastern (White Mountains) and central (Prescott area, Flagstaff) AZ (very rare in SE AZ) • emmilta is common from SE AZ to West TX (Don Lafontaine). • M. adoceta • Distinct, larger and pinker. • Only found in the Baboquivari Mts, Pima CO, AZ
