  • ssp. b. atropunctaria (Walker, [1863] 1862) (Aspitates) excl. - MONA 1983: 7085.5
    Note: "The taxon atropunctaria was described by Walker ([1863]) from “south Florida”, but according to Prout (1934), the type locality is incorrect; it is a British subspecies of a European species. The name atropunctaria has not appeared in the NA literature since Dyar et al. (1902). This entry (as well as the entries for the tribe, genus, and species) were omitted from the 2023 checklist but added in the errata." (Pohl & Nanz 2025)
