Trachysphyrus mentigus mentigus Townes, 1962. In Townes and Townes, U. S. Natl. Mus.

 Trachysphyrus mentigus rhodomerus Townes, 1962. In Townes and Townes, U. S. Natl. 

 Mus. Bui. 216 (pt. 3): 235. d, 9. Because this form had by far the largest range 

 (including Ariz, and Calif.) of the three forms of mentigus described by Townes it seems 

 unusual that he did not make it the nominate form. N. syn.

 mutatus Pratt, revised status. Western Minn., e. S. Dak., Colo., s. Alta., Idaho, s. B. C, Wash.,

 ocellaris Pratt, revised status. Western Nev., Oreg., Calif. In the tribal revision of Townes and 

 Townes (1962), ocellaris was treated as a sympatric subspecies of aridus Pratt. Because 

 these authors said that they had not seen any intergrades between the two taxa, 

 ocellaris is here treated as a distinct species instead of being suppressed as a synonym 

 of aridus.
