(2003): Revised status of Schinia unimacula Smith including morphological comparisons with Schinia obliqua Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Heliothinae).

B35B87F79E25FFBC3379FDA3FE69A85B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Maculation: Forewing of obliqua has distinct, basal, median, and subterminal bands that are light brown to grayish olive in coloration. The median band is sinnuate around the reniform spot. The subterminal band is constricted opposite the reniform spot and can be contiguous or separate at this point. In unimacula the bands are less distinct, and the median band is straighter, resulting in a larger white area between the basal and median bands (Figs. 4 ­ 6). The subterminal band in unimacula is represented by a distinct subapical spot with the remainder of the band faint, becoming more distinct towards the posterior forewing margin. The reniform spot is usually larger and better developed in unimacula than in obliqua. Male genitalia: The uncus is longer and thinner in unimacula than in obliqua. The costal valve margin is gently curved in unimacula and distinctly angulate toward the apex in obliqua; the valve is narrower in unimacula than in obliqua; and the corona has fewer, stouter setae in unimacula than in obliqua. The saccus in unimacula is only slightly wider than in obliqua. Female genitalia: The papillae anales apex is pointed in unimacula and broadly rounded in obliqua, which can easily be seen without dissection. The setae on the distal margin of the seventh segment are large and numerous in unimacula and are weak and fewer in obliqua; smaller setae occur sparsely over the rest of the segment in obliqua, but are absent in unimacula.	en	Pogue, Michael G., Harp, Charles E.

Hardwick (1996) describes the life history and larvae of S. unimacula from the Mohave Desert in southern California where the larvae feed on Ericameria paniculata (A. Gray) Rydb. In the Great Basin the larvae presumably feed on E. nauseosa (Pallas) Briton (Hardwick 1996). We plotted the host plant distribution of E. paniculata (Fig. 13, dark shading) and it does not occur in the Mojave Desert of southern California as stated by Hardwick (1996), but it coincides with specimens collected in southern Nevada and northwestern Arizona. The host plant distribution of E. nauseosa nauseosa (Fig. 13, light shading) more closely coincides with the broader distribution of S. unimacula. Further field studies should be conducted to confirm these larval hosts as well as those in Oregon, Washington, and northern Idaho. Flight period. End of July to early October with most records in August.	en	Pogue, Michael G., Harp, Charles E.

B35B87F79E27FFBB3379FD3CFCDCAC83.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The forewing maculation of unimacula can approach that of obliqua, but the shape of the papillae anales is diagnostic. Forewing maculation seems to be darker and more contrasting in some Colorado specimens than those throughout the rest of the range. The discal spot in the hindwing can be present or absent and the marginal band is faint to almost absent. The holotype of coolidgei is a slightly more heavily marked individual than is typical of unimacula. The female paratype is typical of unimacula. Schinia unimacula is widespread through western United States, approaching the range of S. obliqua only in the southeastern portion of its range, so in most areas the species can be identified by distribution alone.	en	Pogue, Michael G., Harp, Charles E.
