Taxonomic Note
Triphalopsis californica was described by Doyen in 1983. Despite the specific epithet 'californica', distribution records indicate this occurs in Mexico rather than California, USA. This may reflect either a misapplied name, historical taxonomic confusion, or collection records from Baja California or other Mexican localities.
