Field Guide Errata
Even the best publications make inadvertent mistakes, and/or the information becomes outdated. Until the revised edition is published, you can find errors listed here. Thank you for your understanding and tolerance of my limitations.
Page 105: The insects in the image labelled "Margarodidae sp." are likely immatures (nymphs) of Achildae or Cixiidae (pages 96-97).
Page 123: The upper image of the two "squash bugs" is actually another "opuntia bug." Sorry.
Page 125: Plate image of Zicrona caerulea is misspelled "Zicronia."
Page 147: Bolboceras in North America has been changed to Odonteus.
Page 172: The "brown leatherwing" is now Pacificanthia consors.
Page 184: Derobrachus geminatus is now Derobrachus hovorei.
Page 202: The "margined blister beetle" is Epicauta funebris (E. pestifera is an outdated name).
Page 336: Solitary wasps on pages 336-339 (excepting Tiphiidae) are now classified in the family Crabronidae (not Sphecidae).
Page 354: Polistes dominulus is properly spelled Polistes dominula.
Please do not hesitate to report other errors to me. Thanks go to Phil Harpootlian, Ted MacRae, and Matthias Buck for some of the corrections above.
