6268 -- P. discalis -- 20 mm wingspan

6269 -- P. albescens -- 22+ mm wingspan
|
P. albescens is similar to P. discalis but, as in original description, is larger and the forewings are slightly whiter. Both are found from Oklahoma to Kansas and Nebraska. I have not compared genitalia but these may prove to be the same species and the oldest name would survive.

The Florida specimens might possibly represent an undescribed species. I will appreciate hearing from other collectors who have specimens approaching
these in appearance. email to Bob Belmont | |||||
