, is slide mounted and laterally compressed which limits the ability to compare all details with fresh material (hepialid genitalia have a strongly three dimensional structure that is often severely distorted in slide mounts which often limits or even eliminates their taxonomic utility). There are some very slight differences in the shape of the saccus, pseudotegumen, and the dorsal lobes. The latter appear to be slightly broader towards the apex in the

Whether these slight differences may indicate a species level distinction or fall under the intraspecific variation will require extensive sampling of males, and preferably the inclusion of more females, as well as the study of ecological and biological characteristics to confirm the presence of any, as yet, cryptic species.
