The Sympistis hayesi View in CoL group
Species of the Sympistis hayesi (Grote) comb. n. group are the only nearctic species belonging to Oncocnemis s. s.. In this group, the corpus bursae is completely lost and the appendix bursae forms a globular mass with an extension on the right that swirls around ventrally to the ductus seminalis (Fig.Q-3). Sympistis hayesi , Sympis- tis pudorata (Smith) comb. n., Sympistis sandaraca (Buckett and Bauer) comb. n., Sympistis melantho (Smith) comb. n., and Sympistis anubis sp. n. are included in this group. Sympistis hayesi and S. sandaraca are very similar and may be difficult to separate. The holotype of Oncocnemis hayesi , alleged to be in the Natural History Museum, London ( Poole, 1989) is apparently lost. In order to fix the name and resolve confusion between S. sandaraca and S. hayesi , I designate a male specimen (Colorado, La Platte Co., Co. Rd. 213, 2 mi S. Durango, 1 ix 1991, Paul Opler, in the CNC) (Fig. C-25) as NEOTYPE. The DNA of this specimen was analyzed and the 658 COI base pairs compared with those of specimens of S. sandaraca from California and the Pacific Northwest. The results showed a 3.14% difference between S. hayesi and S. sandaraca .
