maculosa Saussure, 1884: 162-163 [ Psinidia ].

Amer. bor.; Fort Mc. Leod. Unspecified number of ♁ and ♀ .

One ♁ and one ♀ syntype. A ♁ with labels: “Ft. McLeod, B.A. Aug 82” [locality printed and date handwritten on white card]; “ Tr. maculosa Sss, Amer. bor.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Trachyrach. [sic] maculosa Sauss. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “Trachyrachis [sic] maculosa Sauss. ” [handwritten on brown paper]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. Specimen set with right wings spread and left wings folded; the right antenna is lost. A ♀ with labels: “Ft. McLeod, B.A. Aug 82” [locality printed and date handwritten on white card]; “Trachyrach. [sic] maculosa Sauss. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “ Hippiscus (?) neglectus?, Thos., No.” [handwritten on white card with “No.” printed]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. Specimen set with right wings spread and left wings folded; most of the left antenna is lost. Otte (1984: 325) refers to the ♁ as the holotype, but the original description treats both sexes and no holotype was designated and so both specimens are syntypes. Box V23.

A junior synonym of Metator pardalinus ( Saussure, 1884) .
