Distribution: USA: Durango, CO (a single specimen ♀ in the Walsingham Collection). Holotype: "Las Vegas, New Mexico" [Las Vigas de Ramírez, Veracruz, Mexico]. Similar Species: Pinned specimens of related species. (Hint: select View by Region on the related species page.) Synonymy: • Choreutis schausiella Busck, [1907] Taxonomic Notes: Caloreas schausiella (Busck, 1907) was originally included in the list based on a misinterpretation of the type locality, "Las Vegas, New Mexico" instead of Las Vigas de Ramírez, Veracruz, Mexico, in Busck (1907). The only recognized record of this species from north of Mexico is a female and has yet to be verified. See Heppner (2022).
