Moved
Moved from Pheosia. Seems best to go with californica

Moved to genus
Moved from Pheosia californica.

Sorry for the extra move. This is slightly outside the known range of what we are now calling P. rimosa. It would seem that P. californica would be more likely. I'll leave it to the Balabans to decide if it should be moved

We're not certain if this is the P californica
discussed in the new Fascicle (1). Most of the specimens examined from this area keyed to californica, but they did find one rimosa near Lake Tahoe. There is a very dark mark on T2. This and the location lead us to suspect this should be placed in P. californica when Steve makes the new page, though we don't know how to be completely certain.
