DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by vesica beyond secondary gonopore shorter than in Teleorhinus crataegi and T. thephrosicola and bent just apically (fig. 9) and males more elongated than in T. crataegi and T. tephrosicola (fig. 9); inflated part of second antennal segment more than proximal half (fig. 7); second antennal segment more than twice as long as length of the pronotum (table 3); dull area below eye not recognized as band (fig. 7); phallotheca distinctly elongate, pointed (fig. 9); leπ paramere with anterior process rounded apically, posterior process rounded (fig. 9); right paramere straight (fig. 9); female distinguished from T. tephrosicola by shape of sclerotized rings of dorsal labiate plate (fig. 12) and posterior wall bearing medioposterior triangular sclerotized process caudally (fig. 12).
REDESCRIPTION: Male: Total length 7.74–8.23, length apex clypeus-cuneus fracture 5.42– 5.77, width across pronotum 1.73–1.78. COLORATION: Vertex sometimes brownish (fig. 7); labium black; coxae red-orange or whitish yellow with brown base; trochanter and femora bright red-orange; tibia more yellowish brown, dark brown basally; all tarsal segments brown. SURFACE AND VESTITURE: Very shining; dorsal surface including antennal segments clothed with short, black, reclining setae; dull appearing area below ventral margin of eye not recognizable as band (fig. 7); forefemora on inner surface with medial setae-free spots (fig. 10E). STRUCTURE: Rather elongate; labium surpassing mesocoxa; vertex with transverse carina. GENITALIA: Vesica simple, apical part beyond secondary gonopore bent, tapering into point (fig. 9); phallotheca distinctly elongate, pointed (fig. 9); leπ paramere with anterior process rounded apically, posterior process rounded (fig. 9); right paramere straight (fig. 9).
Female: Total length 5.91–6.42, length apex clypeus-cuneus fracture 4.60–5.09, width across pronotum 1.56–1.66. Coloration, surface, vestiture and structure as in males, except second antennal segment more widened distally; inflated distal part of second antennal segment more than half of the entire segment length (fig. 7); body more oval shaped than male. GENITALIA: Sclerotized rings of dorsal labiate plate ovoid, round apically (fig. 11); dorsal labiate plate bearing medioposterior triangular sclerotized process caudally; posterior wall with spinose field on surface; sclerotized part of posterior wall with triagular lobe medially (fig. 12).
HOSTS: Baccharis sp. (Asteraceae), Arctostaphylos sp. (Ericaceae), Lupinus sp., Melilotus officinalis (Fabaceae), Ribes aurea (Grossulariaceae), Pinus sp., P. ponderosa (Pinaceae), Ceanothus cordulatus, C. cuneatus, C. integerrimus, C. rigidus, C. velutinus, Cercocarpus ledifolius, Rhamnus californica, R. crocea (Rhamnaceae), Amelanchier utahensis, Cercocarpus ledifolius, C. montanus, Physocarpus capitatus, Prunus emarginata, P. subcordata, Purshia glandulosa, and P. tridentata (Rosaceae).
DISTRIBUTION: Widely distributed in the western states, from British Columbia in the north to Baja California in the south.
DISCUSSION: Uhler (1890) described Teleorhinus cyaneus from two females taken in Los Angeles, California, without designating a holotype. The two female syntypes are housed in the collection of the USNM: one consists of the head with the right antenna consisting of the two segments, and the leπ antenna with three segments, the pronotum with forelegs, leπ, middle, and hind leg; glued on the point is a wing fragment. The second female lacks the head, pronotum, and the forelegs. The latter syntype is designated here as lectotype for stabilizing the nomenclature.
Knight (1968b) described Teleorhinus brindleyi based on two females and a male from Idaho and Wyoming; the holotype is a female. The second antennal segment of T. brindleyi was recorded by Knight (1968b) as bicolored with the base of the segment pale and the apical part darkened, whereas that segment in nigricornis, from California and Washington, appeared completely dark. My investigations of many specimens throughout the geographical range of the three nominal species indicates that the coloration of the second antennal segment is variable and shows no discernable geographical pattern. Base on this, the investigation of the holotype T. brindleyi, and the holotype and paratypes of T. nigricornis, I am treating the latter two names as junior synonyms of T. cyaneus, new synonymy.
