The 1823	<div><p>Sympistis</p> <p>The genus Sympistis sensu Franclemont and Todd (1983) (type species: Sympistis heliophila (Paykull) (= Noctua melaleuca Thunberg) (Figs. G-10, I-6, J-1)) is one of the autapomorphic groups near the top of the Oncocnemidine phylogeny. It is a polyphyletic assemblage of species associated by characters such as small ellipsoidal eyes and lack of a stout foretibial seta. By transferring Sympistis funebris Hübner to Phornacisa, this restricted concept of Sympistis would become monophyletic; however, to retain this narrow concept and maintain monophyly throughout the subfamily, it would be necessary to elevate several genera from the synonymy and describe many new genera for the various species groups. The authors of the species and genera, and new combinations and statuses are given in the species accounts and check list and are not repeated here.</p> <p>The Sympistis perscripta species group (the type species of Lepipolys (Figs. A-11, I-4, J-2)) includes S. perscripta, S. behrensi, and S. sorapis. It is a lineage near the root of Sympistis and is the sister group to the Sympistis terminalis species group, which includes S. terminalis, S. coprocolor, S, melalutea, S. laticosta, and S. corusca. The only consistent structural character which separated Lepipolys from other more basal lineages is the absence of the female corona in S. perscripta and S. behrensi, (the only species formerly assigned to this genus). However, the sister species to S. perscripta is S. sorapis, in which this corona is weak but present, showing that the absence of the female corona in S. perscripta and S. behrensi is a secondary loss. Because the female corona is present in this lineage and because it forms the sister group to the S. terminalis group, I synonymize Lepipolys under Sympistis.</p> <p>The former genus Oncocnemis, here synonymized with Sympistis, is a diverse, paraphyletic assemblage of Oncocnemidine species with a stout foretibial seta. The type species, Oncocnemis confusa Freyer (see Ronkay and Ronkay, 1995, Figs. 37, 38, 145), is Eurasian and belongs to the holarctic Sympistis hayesi group of species. In order to rearrange the classification into monophyletic genera, several options are available. To retain Oncocnemis as a genus and maintain monophyly, Copihadena, Homohadena, Lepipolys, and Phornacisa would have to be retained or raised from the synonymy, species re-shuffled, and several new genera described. I prefer the less disruptive approach and place Oncocnemis as a synonym of Sympistis.</p> <p>The Sympistis piffardi and Sympistis denata species groups form a highly derived group of species near the top of the Oncocnemidine phylogeny. The S. piffardi species group includes S. piffardi (the type species of Phornacisa and Metahadena (Figs. F-6, I-9, J-7) (Metahadena atrifasciata is a junior subjective synonym of Sympistis piffard)), S. barnesii, and S. chalybdis. Species of the S. piffardi group have a short (shorter than the shaft of the aedeagus) vesica with a large terminal spine (Fig. I-9) and a thick-walled appendix bursae widely attached to the posterior corpus bursae (Fig. J-7). The shape of the vesica and female genitalia are similar to those of the S. dentata group. The S. dentata species group and includes S. dentata (the type species of Apharetra (Figs. F-9, F-10, I-3, J-9)), S. anweileri, and S. californiae. The larvae of the S. dentata group species are associated with Vaccinium L. (Ericaceae), those of the S. piffardi group species are associated with Spiraea L. (Rosaceae). The female genitalia are similar between the two groups but small differences occur in the male genitalia, notably the absence of the terminal spine on the vesica and the presence of a digitus on the valve of the S. dentata group species (absent in species of the S. piffardi group). These characters may indicate that the groups should be separated; however, Sympistis funebris (the type species of Funepistis) was formerly placed in Sympistis s.s. due to its diurnal flight and lack of foretibial seta. It has facies and male genitalia similar to the S. piffardi group species but feeds on Vaccinium and lacks the foretibial seta like the Apharetra species. Analysis of the 658 mitochondrial DNA COI base pairs puts S. funebris more closely related to S. dentata than S. piffardi, linking the two groups. The species associated with Apharetra, Funepistis, and Phornacisa, form a closely related monophyletic group but all three genera are here synonymized with Sympistis.</p> <p>The former genus Homohadena, here synonymized with Sympistis, is a polyphyletic assemblage that included unrelated species groups that were associated with Homohadena by the loss of the foretibial seta. The Sympistis badistriga species group includes species in which the stout foretibial seta has been lost and a second group in which this seta is retained. Species that have lost the foretibial seta include S. badistriga (the type species of Homohadena (Figs. B-3, I-5, J-3)), S. rayata, S. stabilis, S. induta, and S. apposita (the type species of Hemistilbia, here synonymized with Sympistis (Figs. A-30, I-8, J-4)). Species which have retained the foretibial seta include S. subsimplex, S. min, S. viriditincta, S. balteata, S. knudsoni, S. tenuifascia, S. aterrima, S. parvanigra, and S. parvacana. The S. badistriga group is characterized by the vestigial corpus bursae, which is either present as a minute polyp on the side of the appendix bursae (Fig. J-4 inset) or totally lost, and with the ductus seminalis arising from the anterior end of the appendix bursae. The corpus bursae of S. satanella is small but functional and is probably a character state reversal; therefore, S. satanella probably belongs to this group. Closely related is the large Sympistis levis species group, with male and female genitalia similar to the S. badistriga species group but with the corpus bursae totally lost, and the Sympistis infixa species group, which includes S. infixa, S. dinalda, S. kappa, and S. fifia. The S. infixa species group is distinguished from the S. badistriga species group by the extreme narrowing of the apical portion of the valve. Less closely related is the Sympistis rustica species group, which includes S. rustica, S. inconstans, and S. incomitata. In this group the foretibial seta is lost, the corpus bursae is present as a bulbous anterior sac, and the appendix bursae is posterior. The corona of stout setae on the ovipositor lobes and characters of the vesica place each of these species groups firmly within the genus Sympistis.</p> <p>The Sympistis fortis species group includes S. fortis (the type species of Homoncocnemis (Figs. F-1, I-1, J- 8)) and S. picina, which, along with Sympistis chionanthi (the type species of Adita (Figs. F-3, I-2, J-5)) are highly derived groups related to the S. dentata species group. Both have lost the corona of stout setae on the ovipositor lobes, retain foretibial setae and have a well developed digitus on the male valve. The female genitalia of S. chionanthi (Fig. J-5) are closely similar to those of the S. piffardi and S. nigrita (Sympistis s. s.) species groups, and the broad apical portion of the valve (Fig. I-2) is similar to that of the S. piffardi species group. The male antenna is bipectinate and the elongate vesica is similar to species in many of the more basal lineages. I believe that the S. fortis and S. chionanthi species groups are basal lineages to Phornacisa.</p> <p>The Sympistis atricollaris species group is a highly derived group of species near the top of the Oncocnemidine phylogeny. Included here are S. atricollaris (the type species of Copihadena, here synonymized with Sympistis, (Figs. G-25, I-7, J-6)), S. cottami, S. figurata, S. greyi, S. minor, S. ragani, S. pallidior, S. semicollaris, S. collaris, and S. disfigurata. Species included here have lost the female corona, have a distinctive gray forewing with thin black antemedial and postmedial lines, and the appendix bursae is well separated from the corpus bursae, often forming a spiral around the ductus bursae and often appearing to arise from the middle of the ductus bursae (Fig. J-6). The group is closely related to the S. griseicollis species group.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/707DD816FF89FFA215BAF2A807CDFABF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Sympistis dinalda is a boreal and sub-boreal species occurring across Canada. The cucullus of the valve is produced to form a long, finger-like projection with a stout terminal claw and corona reduced to a number of stout setae adjacent to the terminal claw, and the ampulla of the clasper is thumb-like (Fig. K-3). Sympistis kappa with its synonym Homohadena retroversa and Sympistis infixa occur in the southeastern United States. The cucullus of S. kappa is long and narrow (but wider than that of S. dinalda) with a small terminal spine. The corona extends along the ventral margin of the cucullus and the ampulla of the clasper is broad and spatulate (Fig. K-4). The cucullus of S. infixa is narrow like that of S. kappa, but about ½ as long and lacks the terminal spine. The corona extends along the full length of the cucullus and the ampulla of the clasper is long and narrow with a terminal claw (Fig. K-5). Grote (1874) described Homohadena kappa on the basis of a female specimen (# 167) from Kansas, ex. Professor Snow and made no mention of additional specimens in the type series. The specimen in the BMNH is a male with the following label data: “ Kansas Snow Grote Coll. 82-54 [the accession #] / 261 / Homohadena kappa Type Grote”. Due to the superficial similarity between the species and the fact that there are three names available for two species, it is necessary the fix the name kappa. Therefore, I here designate the aforementioned male specimen in the BMNH as NEOTYPE for Homohadena kappa Grote.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/707DD816FF86FFA315BAF43507FAFE7F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

A-20, K-6, P-6)</p> <p>Diagnosis. Sympistis apep is very similar to S. tenuifascia (Fig. A-21) and is distinguished from it predominantly by the coloration of the dorsal forewing. In S. tenuifascia, the forewing is darker with a brownish hue, and the ordinary lines and spots somewhat obscure due to the darker background color, in addition, the fringe is concolorous with the terminal area. In S. apep, the forewing is a medium gray with ordinary spots and lines distinct, a broader postmedial white area, and a distinctly checkered fringe. Sympistis apep flies at low elevation in late September in xeric lithosol habitats; S. tenuifascia flies near treeline in mid-summer.</p> <p>Description. Males and females similar. Antennae filiform, head, palpi, vertex, prothoracic collar, thorax, and abdomen gray. Forewing length 9-12 mm. Dorsal forewing mottled gray and white; black antemedial line undulating, edged basally with white scales; median shade dark gray, diffuse; postmedial line edged distally with white scales; subterminal line irregular, bordered basally with variable black shading, heaviest near costa and a series of small black dashes between veins; terminal line scalloped, enclosing a series of black spots at margin; orbicular, reniform, and claviform spots well demarcated with thin black outer and white inner lines; fringe black, checkered with white at tips of veins. Dorsal hindwing gray basally, with distinct black discal lunule transected by black median line; white postmedial band, and wide black marginal band; fringe gray basally, white distally. Male genitalia. (Fig. K-6) Valve widest just beyond clasper, then gently tapered and rounded at apex; ampulla of clasper talon-like, mid-section slightly widened. Vesica bends slightly downward and then hooks to the left, with small basal diverticulum; a ribbon of cornuti extends from left on dorsal surface at diverticulum along right side to apex, cornuti become longer and denser distally; a ventral patch of long, dense cornuti extends along distal half of vesica to apex; a single, coarse apical cornutus points ventrally and a small bundle of cornuti is projected dorsally. Female genitalia. (Fig. P-6) Ovipositor lobes rounded with scattered setae; a corona of short setae surrounds ovipositor lobes about 0.1 mm from tip, these setae produced at 90° to the abdomen, a second row of longer, finer setae encircles ovipositor lobes at base; a sclerite occurs on ventral surface of ductus bursae at ostium bursae, ductus bursae otherwise not heavily sclerotized; appendix bursae 2x as long as wide, bends ventrally and backward toward ductus seminalis at anterior end; minute corpus bursae hangs like a small polyp on right side of appendix bursae.</p> <p>Type material.

C-2, K-9, P-9)</p> <p>Diagnosis. Sympistis incubus and S. seth sp. n. (Fig. C-4) are closely related to S ympistis levis (Grote) (Fig. C-1) from the western Great Plains and Sympistis duplex (Troubridge and Mustelin) comb. n. (Fig. C-3) from southern California respectively. Sympistis incubus is most closely related to S. levis and S. seth is most closely related to S. duplex. Each of these species pairs can be separated by location; however, S. incubus and S. seth fly together in Oregon. DNA analysis confirmed that the S. incubus / S. levis and S. seth / S. duplex species pairs are distinct. Of the 658 COI base pairs examined, S. seth / S. duplex showed a 1.91% difference, S. incubus / S. levis showed a 2.44% difference, and S. incubus / S. seth showed a 2.91% difference. Externally, S. seth is distinguished from S. incubus by the hindwing fringe, white in S. seth but with a thin brown medial line in S. incubus; the basal area of the hindwing of S. seth is paler than that of S. incubus, and the forewing of S. incubus is darker with the ordinary lines and spots more narrowly demarcated and with darker scales – that of S. seth is more boldly patterned and with a paler ground color. Sympistis incubus is most easily separated from S. levis by range – S. levis occurs in xeric habitats east of the Rockies from southern Alberta to Colorado; S. incubus has been collected from cental Washington State to eastern Oregon. The forewing of S. incubus is gray-brown with white scales in the subterminal shade above and below vein 1A+2A, in S. levis these scales are cream or buff colored and the ground color is yellowish brown. Internally, the ruff of setae at the base of the ovipositor lobes is longer and heavier in S. incubus than in S. levis, the cornuti on the ventral side of the base of the vesica are longer and heavier than those of S. levis, and the valve is narrower than that of S. levis (Fig. K-10), in which the ventral margin is bowed downward, making the valve slightly wider in mid-section than that of S. incubus (Fig. K-9).</p> <p>Description. Males and females similar. Antennae filiform, head buff with a few black scales on vertex. Prothoracic collar white basally except at back of head, then lines of black, buff, black, brown, buff, black, brown, and buff. Thorax and abdomen a mix of buff, black, and white scales. Coremata with brushes, levers, and pockets absent from base of male abdomen. Forewing length 14-17 mm. Dorsal forewing ground color buff brown, grayish brown beyond postmedial line; black postmedial line undulating, edged distally with buff scales; black antemedial line deeply denticulate, edged basally with buff scales; basal line black; a series of black dashes extend between veins through postmedial area almost to black terminal line; subterminal line occurs as a series of buff dots or chevrons within these black dashes; scattered white scales between basal and antemedial lines; patches of white scales between veins below reniform spot and distal to postmedial line; orbicular, reniform, and claviform spots well demarcated with thin black outer and buff inner lines; fringe a series of cream, buff, white, buff, white, and finally buff lines. Dorsal hindwing dark grayish cream basally; thin black median line, and wide marginal band black; fringe cream basally, a thin brown line, then white distally. Male genitalia. (Fig. K-9) Dorsal and ventral margins of valve run parallel with each other before narrowing to rounded, upturned apex; ampulla of clasper talon-like, mid-section slightly widened. Vesica bends slightly downward and then bends 90° to the right; a patch of coarse cornuti at base of vesica on ventral surface with a ribbon of short, fine cornuti running around the 90° bend on distal side; upon completing 90° bend, vesica abruptly widens on dorsal surface where a patch of long, fine cornuti occurs on postero-dorsal surface; a dense ribbon of cornuti extends dorsally along medial half of vesica; a ribbon of dense cornuti extends along terminal ½ of posterior margin of vesica; a single, coarse apical cornutus and a bundle of cornuti is projected dorsally at apex. Female genitalia. (Fig. P-9) Ovipositor lobes rounded with scattered setae; a corona of short setae surrounds ovipositor lobes near tip, these setae produced at 90° to the abdomen, a ruff of longer, finer setae encircles ovipositor lobes at base; a sclerite occurs on ventral surface of ductus bursae at ostium bursae, ductus bursae otherwise not heavily sclerotized; appendix bursae bulges abruptly to right of ductus bursae, rounded at anterior end where ductus seminalis arises on dorsal side; corpus bursae absent.</p> <p>Type material.

B-22, L-2, P-12)</p> <p>Diagnosis. Sympistis jenniferae and the next three species (S. isis sp. n., S. osiris sp. n., and S. horus sp. n.) are distinctive in that they have a patch of white scales located basally on the radial veins of the forewing. Sympistis jenniferae is distinguished from these other three species by the dorsal hindwing, which has a row of distinct white (pink in New Mexico) marginal chevrons within the dark submarginal band. The hindwing has a shiny, almost metallic appearance –duller in the other species. Internally, the ampulla of the clasper is swollen with a terminal spine but in S. isis, S. osiris, and S. horus the ampulla is spine-like, tapering evenly to the apex. The basal hindwing of S. jenniferae is pink in New Mexico and white in dune systems in Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska. Structurally, they are otherwise similar and I treat the two populations as the same species.</p> <p>Description. Holotype. Antennae filiform. Prothoracic collar beige then a thin black line, beige, black, beige, white, beige, and white lines –the black lines composed of few scattered black scales. Head beige with brown scales on vertex and labial palpus; thorax a mix of brown, black and white scales. Coremata with brushes, levers, and pockets absent from base of male abdomen. Forewing length 15-17 mm. Dorsal forewing ground color pinkish brown; white scales located basally on the radial veins; thin black denticulate antemedial line bordered basally with beige scales; undulating postmedial line black, thin, edged distally with buff scales; median line grayish brown; thin basal line black; veins from antemedial through postmedial lines edged with white and gray scales, black on veins and bordered with gray scales between postmedial line and subterminal line; a weak series of dark brown dashes extend between veins through postmedial area almost to terminal line; subterminal line occurs as a series of beige dots within these black dashes; black terminal line edged basally with grayish brown scales; orbicular, reniform, and claviform spots well demarcated with dark brown outer and beige inner lines with an inner ring of rust scales; fringe a series of beige, brown, white, dark brown and finally light brown lines. Dorsal hindwing basal area pale shiny pink; submarginal band dark grayish brown, not sharply defined, with a row of pale pink marginal chevrons; discal lunule and veins M3, CuA, and CuA2 lightly highlighted with scattered brown scales; fringe light pink. Male genitalia. (Fig. L-2) Valve with rounded, upturned apex; ampulla of clasper talon-like, mid-section slightly widened. Vesica with basal diverticulum on right bends 90° to the left beyond diverticulum; a ribbon of fine, sparse cornuti extends from dorsal base of vesica across diverticulum, tapering off on posterior surface; a second ribbon of cornuti extends along dorsal surface of apical ½ of vesica; a third ribbon of longer, coarser, ventral cornuti on apical ½ of vesica; a single, coarse apical cornutus and small bundle of cornuti project from apex. Female genitalia.

C-6, K-12, Q-2)</p> <p>Diagnosis. Sympistis insanina is the sister species to Sympistis sanina (Smith) comb. n., both of which may be difficult to distinguish from S. levis and related species. In general, the orbicular spot is round or nearly so, the claviform spot is small and does not reach the postmedial line, and there is a convex bump in the hindwing marginal band around veins M3, CuA, and CuA 2 in S. sanina and S. insanina but in the S. levis group, the orbicular spot is usually rectangular, and angles across the cell, the claviform spot reaches the postmedial line, and the marginal band of the hindwing is smoothly concave. Externally, S. insanina differs from S. sanina by the color of the forewing, which is grayish brown rather than the dirt brown or rusty brown in S. sanina (Fig. C-7). The hindwing of male S. sanina from southeastern Wyoming through western Colorado is cream colored and dusted with brown scales, but that of S. insanina is much whiter with fewer brown scales. From southeastern Colorado through New Mexico and southern Arizona the hindwing of S. sanina becomes white as well. Whether or not these specimens represent another species is an open question but the genitalia and the 658 COI base pairs examined are similar to topotypical S. sanina, so I do not separate them at this time. Internally, the ampulla of the clasper narrows more-or-less evenly to an apical spine in S. insanina but the apical spine extends from the distal margin of the ampulla in that of S. sanina.</p> <p>Description.

Sympistis cocytus and S. acheron have often been misidentified as Sympistis phairi (McDunnough) comb. n. in museum collections.

Significant geographic variation is found in each of these species; however, in general, the hindwing marginal band is more sharply defined in S. glennyi (Figs. B-17, B-18) and the forewing tends to be less hoary than in the other two species. The basal portion of the hindwing of S. acheron tends to be darker than that of S. cocytus or S. glennyi. The ampulla of the clasper of S. glennyi is long, tapers evenly to a point (Fig. L-7), and can usually be seen by brushing specimens. Those of S. acheron and S. cocytus are talon like (Figs. L-8, L-9). In S. cocytus, the distal margin of the ampulla curves evenly to the tip of the terminal spine (Fig. L-9), whereas the distal margin curves toward the base of the terminal spine in that of S. acheron (Fig. L-8). The vesica of S. cocytus bends gently downward (Fig. L-9) but that of S. acheron bends abruptly at almost 90° to the right (Fig. L-8). The appendix bursae of S. cocytus gradually narrows toward the ductus bursae with a small bulge on the right side (Fig. Q-5), but that of S. acheron is sausage shaped with the ductus bursae arising a little to the left of the right end of the sausage (Fig. Q-4).</p> <p>Description.

C-18, L-10, Q-6)</p> <p>Diagnosis. Sympistis amenthes is the sister species to Sympistis cibalis (Grote) comb. n.. The two species share similar male and female genitalic characters but are easily separated by wing coloration. Sympistis cibalis is a Great Plains species, occurring in dunes and badlands from southern Alberta and Manitoba, south at least to Colorado, west to the Rockies and again in the Fraser Canyon, near Lillooet, British Columbia. Sympistis amenthes is a Great Basin species. The hindwing of S. cibalis (Fig. C-17) is smudgy gray basally, blending to the wide marginal band, which extends from the wing margin more than ½ way to the discal lunule; that of S. amenthes has a much whiter basal area and the marginal band sharper and narrower, extending less than ½ way from the wing margin to the discal lunule. The forewing of S. cibalis from the Great Plains has a soft blending of various shades of gray and the shades of gray more contrasting in the disjunct Fraser Canyon population; in that of S. amenthes, the orbicular and claviform spots are outlined with white scales, there is a patch of pale rust colored scales between the orbicular and reniform spots, and the area between the reniform spot and the submarginal band is white. DNA analysis supports the morphological data, showing that of the 658 COI base pairs examined, there is a 2.41% difference between S. amenthes from north central Washington and S. cibalis from the Fraser Canyon, near Lillooet, BC, and a 1.88% difference between S. amenthes from north central Washington and S. cibalis, from southern Alberta.</p> <p>Description. Antennae filiform. Prothoracic collar off white with sharp subbasal black line and rusty gray terminal band. Head a mix of black and white scales with narrow black line between antennae, thorax shades white and light rust scales. Coremata with brushes, levers, and pockets present on base of male abdomen. Forewing length 14-16 mm. Dorsal forewing ground color light blue-gray; antemedial, median, postmedial, and basal lines absent; subterminal line a row of black dashes and chevrons, bordered basally with white and then light rust and distally with white and then light rust scales; orbicular spot elliptical in shape with white border, filled with light blue-gray and scattered black and light rust scales; claviform spot with white border, filled with white scales and scattered light rust scales above anterior margin and a patch of black below poste- rior margin; reniform spot with blue-gray margin, filled with light rust and scattered black scales in posterior ½; light rust scales fill area between reniform and orbicular spots; cells between reniform spot and apex filled with white basal to subterminal line; terminal line black; fringe a series of white, light rust, white, dark gray, white and finally grayish brown lines, this terminal grayish brown line checkered with lighter shades at veins. Dorsal hindwing basal area white with grayish brown marginal band; discal lunule grayish brown; fringe white with faint dark gray median line. Male genitalia. (Fig. L-10) Valve with pointed, upturned apex; ampulla of clasper thumb-shaped with small apical spine. Vesica with two small, basal, dorsal diverticulae and bend to right in apical ¼; a ribbon of sparse cornuti runs from left basal diverticulum around to the left to ventral margin, terminating at about ¼ the length of vesica; a wide ribbon of cornuti runs along right side of middle ½ of vesica; a third ribbon of dense cornuti wraps around left side of apical ½ of vesica; a single, coarse apical cornutus and small bundle of cornuti project from apex.

Although external differences between many of the species are subtle and genital differences often non-existent, DNA analysis gave significant differences between species of the S. riparia group, confirming what the subtle morphological data suggested. The COI sequence data placed S. nenun and S. riparia as the most similar species within the group, with a 1.87% difference between the two species. Differences between other species were more greater, for example, S. deserticola vs. S. amun was 4.74%; S. deserticola vs. S. major was 5.29%; S. major vs. S. chons was 2.89%; S. deserticola vs. S. mut was 5.82%; S. riparia vs. S. major was 3.71%, and S. chons vs. S. riparia was 4.39%.</p> <p>Most species of the S. riparia group exhibit significant individual and geographic variation with little or no genitalic differences between species, making positive identification difficult. By using wing markings in combination with distribution and habitat, most specimens can be identified with some certainty. The forewing of S. riparia has a soft, satiny appearance, antemedial and postmedial lines may or may not be present, and the pale subterminal line is present as a series of pale dots or an undulating line (Figs. E-2, E-3). It occurs in dune systems from central Alberta to the Atlantic coast of New England and the Maritime Provinces. Throughout its range, the forewing of S. major is consistent in that the orbicular, reniform, and particularly the claviform spots are distinctly highlighted with white scales, the subterminal line is deeply denticulate, and white scales often border a series of black subterminal dashes (Figs. D-13, D-14). It occurs in desert habitats, usually sandy, from western Colorado, west to southern California, where it has been collected with S. deserticola in Inyo Co.. The forewing of S. deserticola is similar to that of S. major, but with a blacker ground color. The hindwing is white with a narrow (2-3 mm) dark gray marginal band (Fig. D-12), that of S. major is light grayish brown with a wider, less sharply defined, dark grayish brown marginal band (Figs. D-13, D-14). Sympistis deserticola occurs in the deserts of southern California. Based on the phenotyic and molecular differences, and the fact that the two taxa remain distinct in sympatry, deserticola is raised to species status. The forewing of S. aqualis is distinctive with a prominent black basal dash and thin black lines through the postmedial area (Fig. D-9); there are often a few white scales bordering these lines. It has been collected in the deserts of San Bernardino Co., California and adjacent Clark Co., Nevada. Sympistis sala Mustelin syn. n. is a synonym of S. aqualis (Fig. D-9).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/707DD816FF92FFB615BAF3600125F9F9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

D-18, D-19, D-20, M-7, R-4)</p> <p>Diagnosis. Sympistis chons can be distinguished from S. amun by the characters given above, except in the Peace River Valley, British Columbia and Alberta, where S. chons is very dark and looks much like S. amun. DNA analysis puts these northern specimens with S. chons. This species becomes paler towards the south, where the forewing is light gray and the hindwing marginal band almost absent in some Arizona specimens. On the Great Plains, S. chons occurs in badlands and dry river valleys and S. riparia occurs on dunes. The subterminal line of S. riparia is present as an undulating pale line or series of pale dots (Figs. E-2, E-3); that of S. chons is more deeply jagged, particularly in the anal angle. In the south, S. chons could be confused with S. deserticola or S. major. The orbicular and particularly the claviform spots of S. deserticola (Fig. D-12) and S. major (Figs. D-13, D-14) are highlighted with white scales; these spots are less contrasting and light gray rather than white in S. chons.</p> <p>Description. Antennae filiform, prothoracic collar hoary charcoal gray with wide, light gray median band diffuse charcoal median line within the median band; head and thorax a mix of black and light gray scales gives a hoary dark gray appearance; abdomen light grayish brown. Coremata with brushes, levers, and pockets present on base of male abdomen. Forewing length 15-17 mm. Dorsal forewing light gray and black scales give forewing powdery gray appearance; antemedial and postmedial lines usually obscure, absent, or present as black dots on veins; orbicular spot ellipsoidal; orbicular, reniform, and claviform spots dark gray, bordered with light gray or scattered white scales on the inner row and thin black outer row of scales; thin black basal dash extends into claviform spot; black lines extent through each cell in subterminal portion of wing, meeting black terminal line which is present as a series of small chevrons between veins; slightly obscure, white subterminal line deeply denticulate; fringe dark gray, lightly checkered with light gray at tips of veins. Dorsal hindwing very light grayish basal area blends to dark grayish brown terminal shade in male, slightly darker in female; veins and discal lunule highlighted with scattered grayish brown scales; fringe white with narrow gray median line. Male genitalia. (Fig. M-7) Valve shaped like the prow of a canoe with distinct corona; ampulla of clasper squat, bends posteriorly with terminal spine arcing upward from posterior margin. Vesica with two small basal diverticulae, bends slightly downward about ½ of the way from base; a ribbon of sparse cornuti extends dorsally from base of vesica to apex; a second ribbon of longer, stouter cornuti extends dorsolaterally on right of apical ½ of vesica; a single spine and a tuft of longer cornuti extend from apex.

It is distinguished from S. behrensi by forewing color –light gray in S. sorapis, darker grayish brown in S. behrensi (Fig. A-12). Separating S. sorapis from S. perscripta is more difficult. The hindwing of male S. sorapis is white with a narrow marginal shade, that of S. perscripta (Fig. A- 11) is duskier with a wider marginal shade. On the forewing costa of S. sorapis there are black spots at the terminus of the antemedial, median, and postmedal lines –these same dots are present in S. perscripta; however, a fourth black dot is present above the reniform spot, which seems to be the easiest way to separate females. Internally, a number of differences can be found, e.g., the sclerite on the ventral surface of the ductus bursae of S. perscripta is roughly rectangular in shape and the corona is absent from the ovipositor lobes –in S. sorapis this sclerite is wider at the ostium than at the anterior end and the ovipositor lobes have a weak corona of setae near the apex; in the male, the valve of S. sorapis is considerably shorter than that of S. perscripta.</p> <p>Description. Antennae filiform, head, prothoracic collar, and thorax light gray with scattered black and brown scales; abdomen light grayish brown. Coremata with brushes, levers, and pockets present on base of male abdomen. Forewing length 13-15 mm.

Brown subterminal dashes occur in center of cells. Terminal line black, bordered basally with single row of white scales. Fringe gray. Dorsal hindwing basal area white in male, light grayish brown in female; veins highlighted with a few scattered gray scales; thin terminal shade gray, complete at wing margin but quickly fading to white in male, slightly wider and fading to lighter gray in female, faint postmedial line often present; fringe white with gray median line, off-white at base. Male genitalia. (Fig. N-9) Valve with upturned, rounded tip and distinct corona; ampulla of clasper arises at about 90° to lower margin of valve, more-or-less parallel sided in basal ½, then bends backward in apical ½ and evenly tapering towards terminal spine. Vesica with small, ventral, sub-basal diverticulum; a ribbon of cornuti extends from left base of vesica around to the right side, terminating at the apex; a second patch of cornuti extends along left side of basal ½ of vesica; a single heavy spine occurs at apex. Female genitalia. (Fig. T-6) Ovipositor lobes rounded, corona of stout setae absent; a broad sclerite about as long as width at ostium bursae occurs on ventral surface of ductus bursae, this sclerite tapers anteriorly, rounded at anterior end; a second sclerite occurs dorsally above ventral sclerite and is tapered to anterior point; unsclerotized anterior portion of ductus bursae almost 2X as long as sclerotized portion, expands on left slightly anterior to ventral sclerite; tubular appendix bursae arises at 90° to ductus bursae and bends anteriorly towards anterior ductus seminalis; corpus bursae with elongate dorsal and ventral signae, arises via tube resembling extension of ductus bursae; anterior terminus of corpus bursae and appendix bursae about equal.</p> <p>Type material.

G-22, O-1)</p> <p>Diagnosis. Sympistis opleri is a member of the Sympistis dayi (Grote) comb. n. group which is defined by the male clasper which arises distal to the sacculus and the tip of the valve which has a terminal spine and lacks the corona. Externally it looks quite similar to Sympistis kelloggii (Hy. Edwards) comb. n. (Fig. G-24), which flies in mid-summer in the Sierra Nevada and Sympistis saxatilis (Troubridge and Crabo) comb. n. (Fig. G- 21), which flies in mid-September in the Great Basin, but can be separated from them by the area of the forewing between the reniform spot and the postmedian line which is light grayish brown in S. opleri -white in S. kelloggii and S. saxatilis. The only other member of the group which could be confused with S. opleri is S. dayi, which flies in mid-summer in Colorado. In S. opleri, the hindwing is off-white, the area between the discal lunule and base is heavily suffused with dark scales (Fig. G-22), and the division between the terminal black band median pale area is not crisp. In S. dayi (Fig. G-23), the discal lunule is reduced to a small black spot, the hindwing is orange, the dark basal shade is considerably reduced compared to that of S. opleri, and the division between the terminal black band median orange area is crisp. Internally, the apical third of the valve of S. dayi is broader, than that of S. opleri, which tapers more slowly lo the apical spine, and the corona is absent in S. dayi.</p> <p>Description. Head with a mix of black and white scales with narrow black band between eyes. Antennae filiform. Eye orbicular. Dorsal surface of thorax with a mix of gray, grayish brown and off-white scales and black scales and an antero-dorsal tuft of brown black and off-white scales. Thoracic collar black basally followed by bands of white light brown dark brown and white. Coremata with brushes, levers, and pockets absent from base of male abdomen. Forewing length 13 mm.

Members of this group are easily identified by the collar of long setae at the base of the ovipositor lobes and distinct black band across the vertex of the head of adults. Sympistis doris and S. lacticollis are easily distinguished from the rest of the group by wing coloration, but the other species may be easiest to separate by using habitat and locality in addition to wing markings and genital differences. Wing markings among these remaining species make species determination relatively easy, but genital differences between species are often subtle. Sympistis hapi, known only from Mesa Co., Colorado, is most closely related to S. chorda, which occurs in Colorado and Utah. DNA analysis agrees with the morphological data, showing that of the 658 COI base pairs examined, there is a 2.82% difference between S. hapi and S. chorda. Externally, S. chorda looks most similar to S. sokar, which occurs from Nevada and California, north to Washington; however, of the 658 COI base pairs examined, there is a 3.45% difference between these species. Sympistis chorda is actually most closely related to S. dischorda, but differs by 1.91%. Lastly, S. extremis and S. buto differ by 1.18%; where they fly together in the Sierra Nevada they are easily distinguished by wing coloration (Figs.

F-16, F-17, O-6, T-10)</p> <p>Diagnosis. Sympistis sokar closely resembles S. chorda (Fig. F-14) and S. dischorda (Fig. F-18; F-19). It is easiest to separate S. sokar from S. chorda by range, with S. chorda present in Colorado and Utah and S. sokar present in the western Great Basin, from northern Nevada to central Washington. Internally, the anterior end of the appendix bursae of S. chorda bends 180° to point to the rear of the insect, but that of S. sokar and S. dischorda bend to the left and then slightly to the anterior. Sympistis sokar flies in xeric canyons, usually with basalt rimrock and lithosol substrate. It can also occur along basalt cliffs at mid-elevations in the Cascades. Sympistis dischorda occurs in dry mid-elevation forests, not in desert canyons. Sympistis sokar differs from S. dischorda by the dorsal hindwing of the male, where the terminal shade forms a broad, dark grayish brown band, but in S. dischorda the terminal shade is significantly reduced. Throughout most of its range, the terminal shade of S. dischorda is reduced to scattered dark scales on and around the terminus of the veins, but in the mountains of southwestern California the terminal shade is often broader, approaching that of S. sokar. On the forewing, the antemedial and postmedial lines of S. dischorda are finer than those of S. sokar and the antemedial line is straighter than that of S. sokar. Description.

F-18, F-19, O-7, T-11)</p> <p>Diagnosis. Sympistis dischorda most closely resembles S. sokar and females may be difficult to separate. Internally, the species are quite similar; however, the vesica of S. sokar is more robust than that of S. dischorda and the unsclerotized portion of the ductus bursae of S. dischorda is about the same length as the sclerotized posterior section –that of S. sokar is about twice as long as the sclerotized section. Sympistis sokar flies in xeric canyons, usually with basalt rimrock and lithosol substrate. It can also occur along basalt cliffs at mid-elevations in the Cascades. Sympistis dischorda occurs in dry mid-elevation forests, not in desert canyons. Sympistis sokar differs from S. dischorda by the dorsal hindwing of the male, where the terminal shade forms a broad, dark grayish brown band, but in S. dischorda the terminal shade is significantly reduced. Throughout most of its range, the terminal shade of S. dischorda is reduced to scattered dark scales on and around the terminus of the veins, but in the mountains of southwestern California the terminal shade is often broader, approaching that of S. sokar. On the forewing, the antemedial and postmedial lines of S. dischorda are finer than those of S. sokar and the antemedial line is straighter than that of S. sokar.</p> <p>Description. Antennae filiform, head white with distinct black band across vertex, prothoracic collar, thorax and abdomen light gray. Small, vestigial pockets present on male abdomen but levers and hair pencils absent. Forewing length 14-16 mm. Dorsal forewing grayish brown, postmedial line bordered distally with light gray scales, subterminal and postmedial area between these grayish brown scales and terminal line dark grayish brown. Orbicular and reniform spots absent or nearly so; antemedial, postmedial, and basal lines black; antemedial line more-or-less straight; median line faint or absent, but black dot normally present on costa when median line absent; subterminal line absent; thin terminal line black; fringe dark grayish brown with off-white basal line. Dorsal hindwing pale gray with broad terminal shade in females, white in males, with narrow terminal shade or more often, terminal shade reduced to scattered gray scales in subterminal area; veins highlighted with scattered light gray scales; terminal line black; postmedial line often present as a series of dark gray dots on veins; fringe white with gray median line in male, gray with darker gray median line in female. Male genitalia. (Fig. O-7) Valve shaped like prow of canoe, with distinct corona; ampulla of clasper bends posteriorly and narrows to form terminal spine. Vesica arcs downward 90° with dorsal, subbasal patch of spine-like cornuti; a narrow ribbon of cornuti lies flat against left side of posterior ½ of vesica; a broad ribbon of erect cornuti extends dorsally along middle portion of vesica; a bundle of two long cornuti above a single stout cornutus extend from apex. Female genitalia. (Fig. T-11) Ovipositor lobes rounded, with fine setae and collar of long setae at the base; ductus bursae with triangular sclerotized ventral plate on posterior ½, meets appendix bursae, which arises from right side of ductus bursae and corpus bursae on left; appendix bursae parallel sided, bends to the left and slightly backward in mid-section, and then narrows quickly to anterior diverticulum which bends slightly to the anterior before narrowing to ductus seminalis at apex, corpus bursae with two elongate signa, about same size as appendix bursae, with central bulge and narrowing to rounded anterior apex.</p> <p>Type material.

Franclemont and Todd (1983) placed pallidior as a subspecies of O. figurata. Sympistis pallidior comb. n., stat. n. (Fig. H-3) is distinguished from S. figurata (Fig H-1) by the male and particularly female genitalia. A long neck separates the corpus bursae from the appendix bursae in S. pallidior (Fig. P-1), a much shorter neck in S. figurata (Fig. P-2). The vesica of S. pallidior loops 180° (Fig. K-2) that of S. figurata bends downward but does not loop (Fig. K-1). Sympistis figurata occurs from the west coast to the Rockies in ponderosa pine forests from British Columbia to California; S. pallidior occurs from the Peace River in northern British Columbia, south through the prairies and Great Basin to south coastal California.

H-2, O-10, U-3)</p> <p>Diagnosis. Externally, S. disfigurata most closely resembles S. figurata (Fig. H-1), but the ground color of the forewing of S. figurata (and S. pallidior) is an even medium gray, that of S. disfigurata appears more mottled due to the diffuse, dark median line, which is absent in S. figurata and S. pallidior and the area between the postmedial and subterminal lines is darker than the basal area. Internally, male and female genitalic characters are very similar to those of S. pallidior; however, in S. pallidior the corpus bursae is wider than long (Fig. P- 1) vs. longer than wide in S. disfigurata (Fig. U-3), and the fields of cornuti on the vesica are larger in S. disfigurata.</p> <p>Description. Antennae filiform, head black, prothoracic collar back basally, edged with white and then gray scales; thorax and abdomen gray. Coremata with brushes, levers, and pockets present on base of male abdomen. Forewing length 12-15 mm. Dorsal forewing gray, becoming darker between postmedial and subterminal lines; orbicular and reniform spots absent; black antemedial and postmedial lines joined by black dash through the fold, diverge and run parallel to each other toward trailing edge of forewing; thin black lines centred between veins extend from terminal line toward postmedial line, except between veins M1 and M2, where line is more distinct and transects postmedial line; fringe grayish brown. Dorsal hindwing light gray to dusky white basally with darker grayish brown terminal shade (darker and wider in females); fringe white with grayish brown medial line. Male genitalia. (Fig. O-10) Valve bends slightly upward, with distinct corona; ampulla of clasper almost rectangular with anterior shoulder rounded and posterior margin leading straight to terminal spine. Vesica bends slightly to left before hooking downward and around to the right; one dorsal field of spine-like cornuti extends from base of vesica around left side of shoulder; a second field of cornuti covers right side of vesica almost to apex; one small tuft of longer cornuti and one terminal spine occur at apex. Female genitalia. (Fig. U-3) Ovipositor lobes covered with setae; ductus with sclerotized ventral plate on posterior ½; appendix bursae broadly joined to ductus bursae, arises ventrally and wraps around dorsally, narrowing to ductus seminalis. Bulbous corpus bursae with two long signae narrows anteriorly, attaches to appendix bursae via a long, narrow tube.</p> <p>Type material.

D. Lafontaine 2008	<div><p>Sympistis anweileri Troubridge &amp; J. D. Lafontaine sp. n.</p> <p>(Figs. F-11, O-11, U-4)</p> <p>Diagnosis. Sympistis anweileri is closely related to Sympistis dentata (Grote) comb. n. (Figs F-9, F-10). In males there are several differences in the vesica, notably, a dorsal subbasal diverticulum in S. dentata versus a ventrolateral subbasal diverticulum in S. anweileri, and a large cornutus on the right side of the vesica adjacent to the ventral field of fine cornuti in S. anweileri that is absent in S. dentata. In Sympistis californiae (McDunnough) comb. n. (Fig. F-12), the orbicular spot is distinct, ellipsoidal, and with distinct black border and inner circle of white scales, the antemedial line is deeply serrate, and the vesica is without a distinct subbasal diverticulum, but in S. anweileri the orbicular spot is often indistinct, circular or slightly oval, with weak black border that does not contrast in color with remainder of the wing, the antemedial line is sinuate, and the vesica has a distinct sub-basal diverticulum.</p> <p>Description. Antenna filiform and ciliate in both sexes. Eye bare, rounded, without lashes in front of eye at base of antenna. Foretibia without stout terminal spine-like seta. Head light gray with narrow black band between eyes; palpi light gray with scattered white scales. Prothoracic collar gray, edged with white scales. Tegulae hoary gray, edged with black scales. Thorax gray; abdomen grayish brown, without dorsal tufts. Coremata with brushes, levers, and pockets present on base of male abdomen. Forewing length 15-18 mm. Dorsal forewing powdery gray; orbicular spot concolorous with remainder of wing, circular, thinly edged with black; reniform spot thinly edged with black, filled with light gray scales in anterior ½ and dark gray in posterior a; claviform spot black; sagittate; antemedial line black, dusted with light gray scales on proximal margin; postmedial line sagittate, light gray, edged proximally with black scales; terminal line black with light gray scales on veins; fringe gray. Dorsal hindwing light grayish brown with faint, slightly darker median line and slightly darker terminal band; fringe whitish gray. Male genitalia (Fig. O-11). Cucullus with outer margin rounded and tapered to posterior apical point; corona present. Ampulla of clasper shaped like duck’s head and neck with duck’s “bill” in form of a tapered, upturned spine. Digitus flattened plate, broadly attached to costa, crossing valve behind clasper, narrowing to point and separated from valve at posterior margin near base of clasper. Uncus rounded in cross-section, arcing downward and tapering to terminal point. Vesica bulbous basally with small diverticulum ventrolaterally on left, bends 180° ventrally with fields of spine-like cornuti on posterior, ventral, left, and right surfaces, and with a single, large cornutus on right adjacent to ventral field of cornuti. Female genitalia (Fig. U-4). Ovipositor lobes bluntly pointed, setose. Ostium bursae heavily sclerotized, trapezoidal, about 2X long as wide. Ductus bursae short, unsclerotized, joins with enlarged, swollen, anterior end of ostium bursae. Appendix bursae rugose and leathery, to left of ductus bursae; bursae copulatrix amphora-shaped, projects to right of ductus bursae with weak, elongate, dorsal and ventral signa.</p> <p>Type material.

(Psaphidinae: Triocnemidini)</p> <p>Type species. Oncocnemis primula Barnes and McDunnough, 1918 (Fig H-19).</p> <p>Gender. Feminine.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Externally, Unciella is characterized by the creamy white color of the forewing with indistinct antemedial and postmedial lines and the entire wing basal to the subterminal line heavily mottled with gray. Internally, the male genitalia of Unciella species are characterized by the following: the lightly sclerotized sacculus forms a low ridge across the basal ¼ of the valve, the ampulla of the clasper points dorsally; the setae on the cucullus form a corona on outer margin of the cucullus; the digitus is absent; the vesica is tube-shaped, arcs downward, and is covered with spine-like cornuti, and the uncus is relatively broad, rounded apically, with a minute apical spine. In the female genitalia, the ductus bursae is relatively long, deeply furrowed, and attaches to the left side of the tear-shaped bursae copulatrix at about mid section. The corpus bursae is rounded anteriorly with a single signa, tapering into the deeply furrowed appendix bursae to a posterior point. The most closely related genera are Triocnemis Grote and Crimona Smith, both monotypic. Internally, the uncus is narrower in these genera, and there is a bulbous cornutus on the vesica, absent in Unciella. The ductus bursae is wider and not so deeply furrowed in Triocnemis and the appendix bursae is sac-like and more distinctly separated from the corpus bursae than in Unciella. In Crimona, a large, sclerotized pouch is present on the ductus bursae and the appendix bursae is reduced.</p> <p>Description. Head: antenna filiform, ciliate ventrally; eye unlashed, smooth, round, without surface hair. Thorax: prothoracic collar smoothly scaled with spatulate scales; mesothorax and metathorax clothed with hair-like scales. Legs: foretibia with broad sclerotized spine; tarsi with three ventral rows of setae on each seg- ment. Abdomen: coremata with brushes, levers, and pockets absent from base of abdomen. Male genitalia: (Fig. O-12) uncus relatively wide, about 3x as wide as deep, clothed with long, hairlike setae; apex of uncus rounded with thin terminal spine; valve of uniform width, tapering through cucullus to blunt, dorsal point; sacculus forms a low ridge along basal ¼ of valve; cucullus not well differentiated from remainder of valve; a row of fine setae forms a corona along outer margin of cucullus; digitus absent; clasper projects dorsally near posterior end of sacculus; aedeagus 5– 6x as long as wide, downcurved posteriorly; apex of aedeagus granulose; vesica about as long as aedeagus, projecting downward from aedeagus, vesica tubular, without diverticulae, almost completely covered by a field of spine-like cornuti. Female genitalia: (Fig. U-5) bursae copulatrix unisaccate, teardrop shaped; corpus bursae rounded anteriorly with single signa, tapering posteriorly through deeply furrowed appendix bursae to a posterior point at junction of ductus seminalis; ductus bursae deeply furrowed, about as long as corpus bursae plus appendix bursae; ovipositor lobes somewhat squared off apically with scattered long and short setae.</p> <p>Etymology. The gray and cream wing pattern of the two known species is like that of the snow leopard, Uncia uncia (Schreber). With the Latin suffix, the name suggests a small snow leopard.</p> <p>Discussion. I place Unciella in the Triocnemidini. The closest relative to Unciella is Triocnemis but differs from it in the characters cited above. Included in Unciella are Unciella primula (Barnes and McDunnough) comb. n. and Unciella flagrantis (Smith) comb. n., previously placed in Oncocnemis.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/707DD816FFB7FF9015BAF69807E6FCEF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
