Type-locality: USA , Pennsylvania . Taxonomic notes. The widely distributed North American species shows a considerable geographical variation. However, only P. purpurissata apurpura (Barnes & McDunnough, 1913) has an allopatric range ( Arizona ), while “ Mamestra languida Smith, 1893 ” possibly represents a rare hybrid with P. nugatis (see: MCCABE 1980: 24 ).
