Scotogramma nevada B. & McD. Basing my identification of this species on a male from Bishop, Inyo Co., Calif. which matches the figure of type in the ‘Contributions’ very closely, I find that the genitalia are practically identical with those of ptilodonta Grt., also figured in the ‘Contributions’ Vol. II (1) Pl. IV, fig. 14; nevada should be removed from its present association and placed as a race of ptilodonta, differing in the paler, more gray-tinted color of the primaries with rather better defined maculation.
