Synonyms and other taxonomic changes

Chionodes abitus Hodges, 1999

Range

BC to ID, MT and mountains south to southern CA. (1)

SK, ON, QC, CA, ID, MT, NV, OR, WA (R.W. Hodges). (2)

Type locality: Modoc Co., CA.

Remarks

"Three specimens from Ottawa, Ontario area are excluded from the type series because they are highly disjunct from other populations... The pattern of dark spots on the forewing is reduced but present." (2) This statement seems to imply that the Northeast population which Hodges treats as Chionodes abitus could be a separate species.
