Graphops comosa | |
Graphops comosa, known generally as the Monahans sandhill chrysomelid or long-haired graphops, is a species of leaf beetle. [2] [3] [4] [5] It is found in southeast New Mexico and the adjacent region of Texas. [5]
Adult beetles of G. comosa have the heaviest pubescence of any in the genus. Their coarse white hairs entirely conceal the punctuation on the elytra, giving the beetles a grayish appearance similar to that of Glyptoscelis species. The specific name, comosa, is Latin for "with long hair". [5]
