Collecting Event

Collected July 10, 1958
Collecting Event ID 958
Collecting Event Notes Locality to 'Hays county' is vague. This is a species that is only known from a discrete location in Hays county. Furthermore, other catalog numbers sequentially smaller and larger than this one from OSU are collected from Spring Lake (where this species is well-known from). We assume this is from that same collecting event, which otherwise is lacking this species. Those other records have a date of July 10, 1958, which is a transposition of the month and day for this record. We assume this record is also from Spring Lake and collected on July 10.
