  I have seen *Opsiphanes boisduvalii* BOISDUVAL'S OPSIPHANES, OPSIPHANE DE
BOISDUVAL active at dusk in tropical evergreen dry forest on karst
limestone on several occasions, between Gomez Farias and La Florida (Mcp.
de Gomez Farias) in Tamaulipas, Mexico. I have not seen it farther north
but I suspect it in the Sierra de San Carlos and it is possible in the
Sierra de Cerralvo.
  With the current climatic change I would expect to encounter it in Texas
more often in future. Where are you depositing the voucher specimen?
