Description/
Field Marks:
Forewing with a smooth medial line. Dissection required; DNA barcode is apparently not definitive. Smith (1988) mentions the am. line with a long inward tooth followed by a long outward tooth near the inner margin, but this character does not appear to hold up.
Similar Species:
  • Ulolonche dilecta (Edwards, 1885) has a jagged medial line or at least an outward tooth near the reniform.
  • Ulolonche disticha (Morrison, 1875) has a jagged medial line or at least an outward tooth near the reniform.
  • Cryptic, possibly undescribed species represented at BOLD by BINs BOLD:ABZ0725, BOLD:ABZ0723, and BOLD:ADG1993.
  • Pinned specimens of related species. (Hint: select View by Region on the related species page.)
Synonymy:
  • fasciata Smith, [1888] (Ulolonche) - MONA 1983: 10570
      Type locality: Holotype: New Mexico.
  • marloffi (Barnes & Benjamin, 1924) (Hyssia)
      Type locality: Ft. Wingate, NM.
  • Taxonomic Notes: Ulolonche fasciata: Includes as a synonym U. marloffi [10571, 933122].
