M. homuraria ruled out as furcae should be identical. Also used Chris Schmidt's photos of specimens from the CNC which show M. hypochraria as having bold brown shading above the PM line. M. refractaria appear whiter or paler overall. In Rupert's 1943 Revision of Metarranthis, he has M. refractaria as a synonym of M. hypochraria.
