Daspyga salmocolor

[Scholtens, Brian G]

I agree with Hugh.  It is likely that the specimen is alternosquamella, which can be quite common in the NW.  I saw lots of it last summer at the Lep Soc meetings in Washington state.

Hi,

I photographed this species and took a few specimens last summer in the
Chiricahuas (AZ). The species appears not to have been covered yet by
Neunzig, and it was not split at the time Heinrich wrote. Are you sure your
northern specimen is this and not alternosquamella?
