Coordinator notes: Taxonomy note: BAMONA's taxonomy is a bit out of date with this one. MPG states: Cisthene schwarziorum (Dyar, 1899), n. stat., formerly a subspecies of Cisthene tenuifascia Harvey, 1875, is raised to full species (Schmidt in Pohl & Nanz (eds.) 2023). I hesitated to create C. schwarziorum as a new species in the database, since we're aware that our taxonomy needs another update. If other coordinators think I should do so, however, please let me know and I'll take care of it. JRains
