Oxyopes sp. Brady, 1969, Psyche, 76(4) :437, figs. 5, 6, 16, 17, 9. Female 
from 12 mi. W of Portal, Cochise Co., Arizona, 13 July 1968, in the 
Museum of Comparative Zoology. 
Holotype. Female from 12 mi. W of Portal, Cochise Co., Ari- 
zona, 13 July 1968, (L. D. Mikelson) in the Museum of Com- 
parative Zoology. The specific name is a noun in apposition after 
the Panther. 
Discussion. In an earlier paper on the apollo species group I 
illustrated and described an unknown female Oxyopes from Portal, 
Arizona (Brady, 1969). Since the females of O. pardus, O. lynx, 
and O. felinus were unknown at that time, I thought it best not to 
assign a distinctive name to a single female specimen that belonged 
to the same species group. During the present study four additional 
females of this same species were found in collections from Mexico. 
Although the male is still not known, I have decided to name the 
females in order that they can be identified. The actual relationship 
of these five females to O. pardus will be determined only when 
males and females are found in association. 
Measurements. For measurements of the holotype see Brady, 
1969. The range for the four Mexican females is given below.
