Gabara subnivosella Walker, 1866 ( Figs. 42–45 , Map 21) MAP 21. Collecting localities of Gabara subnivosella . Identification. Forewing length 10.5–13.7 mm . Gabara subnivosella is a variable species with a forewing ground color ranging from white to light brown. Forewing pattern can be absent, especially in specimens with white wings, to having a minute spot of scales representing the orbicular and reniforms spots, a postmedial line that curves from costa around end of discal cell then angled to posterior margin, and some specimens have a horizontal streak of brown just below orbicular and reniform spots. Specimens can exhibit the following combination of patterns: 1) complete absence, 2) orbicular and reniform spots, 3) orbicular and reniform spots with horizontal streak, and 4) orbicular and reniform spots and postmedial line. Hind wing varies from off white to a medium brown. The metathroax is bare, covered with minute spicules, obvious in a dorsal view. Male has filiform antennae with a pair of long, lateral setae and many finer setae on ventral surface. Head has a porrect, brown labial palpus that is approximately twice as long as eye width; the frons is bare. Flight period. Late July to mid August. Collected localities.
