. Bionomics, systematics, and phylogeny of Lytta, a genus of blister beetles (Coleoptera, Meloidae). Lytta. SYSTEMATICS AND PHYLOGENY 221 trionalis has been described and discussed by Moore (1952). In this last example the convergence presumably results from the two species of frogs being in the same habitat and thus being subject to the same selection pressures. Available evidence indicates that the beetles childi and molesta also share the same habitat. Both species have been collected on Lupinus at several points within the area of sympatry. They presumably occur on the same species of Lupi

Available evidence indicates that the beetles childi and molesta also share the same habitat. Both species have been collected on Lupinus at several points within the area of sympatry. They presumably occur on the same species of Lupinus as several mixed series of the two have been examined. Moreover, they have the same seasonal distribution. Under these circumstances it is not difficult to conceive of one or more of the physical factors of the environment producing parallel phenotypic I 2 3 4 B 6 64 80 20 1 i—i. Fig. 59.
