Description
Polia purpurissata (Grote, 1864)
Eurois purpurissata Grote, 1864, Entomological news, and proceedings of the Entomological Section of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia 9: 82, pl. 1, fig. 5. Type-locality: USA, Pennsylvania.
Taxonomic notes. The widely distributed North American species shows a considerable geographical variation. However, only P. purpurissata apurpura (Barnes & McDunnough, 1913) has an allopatric range (Arizona), while “ Mamestra languida Smith, 1893 ” possibly represents a rare hybrid with P. nugatis (see: MCCABE 1980: 24).
