Kevin Floate: пример картирования ареала Onthophagus nuchicornis с помощью системы Google Earth

Kevin Floate

We are mapping the distributions of Onthophagus nuchicornis, Onthophagus taurus and Digitonthophagus (Onthophagus) gazella (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in North America based on published reports.

I think the datasets are largely complete, but wonder if anyone can help me with the following.

RE: O. nuchicornis. Can anyone point me to published information on the distribution of O. nuchicornis in the United States, particularly for areas where we do not already have reports. Based on our map thus far (attached), it likely occurs in Oregon, southern Idaho, southern Montana, South Dakota, and possibly Nebraska and Iowa. Confirmation would be great.

The report I have for Virginia has been previously questioned. So additional reports (if any) for Virginia and surrounding states would be appreciated.
