Abstract

"The genus Hesperumia is revised for the first time; Ultralcis is placed as a synonym. Three previously named species are included and redescribed: sulphuraria Packard, latipennis (Hulst), and fumida (Warren). One heretofore unrecognized species is described; the name fumosaria Comstock is available for it. This species is divided into two subspecies: nominate fumosaria from southern California and northern Baja California; and fumosaria impensa occurring in central California, southwestern Oregon, and western Nevada, described as new. Keys and photographs are presented for the adults and male and female genitalia. All four species occur in western North America, with one species extending across the northern United States and southern Canada and ranging in the east from Nova Scotia to Virginia"--P. [1].
