Anarta hampa Smith, 1908: 111 .

Subspecies hampa is restricted to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It is slightly larger (forewing length 11–12 mm, male; 13–14 mm, female) than other eastern subspecies. The forewing is dark gray with distinct markings. Th e hindwing is white with a slightly scalloped postmedial line that is more prominent than in other L. leucocycla subspecies. Some females have patches of pale scales interrupting the marginal band. Subspecies hampa has been collected from mid-July to early August.

No recent material of L. l. hampa was available for DNA sequencing.
