Size

Expanse: 19-25 mm. (1)

Identification

This species (profundalis) is easily distinguished from the Old World U. ferrugalis (Hübner) and from the eastern U. rubigalis (Packard) by the genitalia. U. profundalis averages appreciably larger, and tends to have the reniform more distinct above, and the postmedial line of the fore wing more distinct above and below and more strongly angled behind the costa. Individual specimens may, however, require dissection for definite identification. (1)

Range

Mainly west of the Rocky Mountains.

Remarks

In general U. rubigalis is only recorded east of the Rockies and U. profundalis only west of the Rockies from BC to California.
