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
).
