Hardwick 1996:183 [syn.: S. unimacula Smith, S. coolidgei Hill]</p> <p>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. 4­6). 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.</p> <p>Description. Male genitalia (Figs. 7­8): Uncus short (0.28 X valve length), robust. Valve elongate (length 7.5 X width), costal margin angulate at approximately 85% of length; ampulla short (0.04 X valve length); corona at apical 10% of valve length; sacculus well developed and 25% of valve length, dorsal margin distinct. Aedoeagus slightly curved; vesica with 2 coils and minute spicules. Female genitalia (Fig. 11): Papillae anales broadly triangulate, apex broadly rounded. Seventh segment with weak, elongate setae in a row along distal margin; smaller setae sparsely scattered on remainder of segment. Eighth segment with fine spicules. Ductus bursae moderately elongate. Appendix bursae coiled. Corpus bursae ovate; signa composed of 4 scobinate bars.</p> <p>Type material. Lectotype male, in USNM designated by Todd (1982).

Valve elongate (length 8.1 X width), costal margin gently curved; ampulla elongate (0.10 X valve length); corona at apical 5% of valve length; sacculus well developed and 35% of valve length, distal margin not distinct and blends into valve. Aedoeagus slightly curved; vesica with 2 1/2 coils and minute spicules. Female genitalia (Fig. 12): Papillae anales triangulate, apex pointed. Eighth segment with fine spicules. Seventh segment with many large, robust setae in a row along distal margin; remainder of segment devoid of setae. Ductus bursae moderately elongate. Appendix bursae coiled.

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.</p> <p>Flight period. End of July to early October with most records in August.</p> <p>Distribution (Fig. 13). From central Arizona and New Mexico, north to Colorado, southwestern Wyoming and Utah, west to Nevada and California, and north to Oregon, Idaho, and Washington.</p> <p>Material Examined. Specimens were examined from the following states and counties: ARIZONA: Mohave Co. CALIFORNIA: Inyo Co., Kern Co., Los Angeles Co., Modoc Co., Mono Co., Riverside Co., San Bernardino Co., San Diego Co., Tuolumne Co., Ventura Co. COLORADO: Adams Co., Alamosa Co., Arapahoe Co., Baca Co., Boulder Co., Denver Co., El Paso Co., Fremont Co., Huerfano Co., Jefferson Co., Kit Carson Co., La Plata Co., Larimer Co., Lincoln Co., Mesa Co., Moffat Co., Montezuma Co., Otero Co., Weld Co. IDAHO: Bonner Co. NEVADA: Clark Co., Eureka Co., Lander Co., Lincoln Co., Nye Co., Washoe Co. NEW MEXICO: Bernalillo Co. OREGON: Deschutes Co., Harney Co., Jefferson Co., Klamath Co. UTAH: Beaver Co., Daggett Co., Eureka Co., Garfield Co., Juab Co., Kane Co., Rich Co., San Juan Co., Sanpete Co., Sevier Co., Toole Co, Unitah Co., Utah Co., Washington Co. WASHINGTON: Okanogan Co. WYOMING: Lincoln Co., Uintah Co.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>The holotype of coolidgei is a slightly more heavily marked individual than is typical of unimacula. The female paratype is typical of unimacula.</p> <p>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.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/B35B87F79E27FFBB3379FD3CFCDCAC83	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
