Dysstroma pseudimmanata 7188.1 - Dysstroma pseudimmanata
Bay Center 98527 Willapa, Pacific County, Washington, USA
May 17, 2010
Size: Wingspan ~33mm

RWWA-1651 BOLD DNA: New: Dysstroma pseudimmanata 7188.1

A species level match could not be made, as this specimen is likely to be either : Dysstroma sobria or Dysstroma walkerata with mixed matches over 99%. On the DNA tree the sobria are mixed with the greater number of walkerata. DNA seems to suggest they are the same species.
Locality: Coastal SW Washington State at the edge of Willapa Bay geo:lat=46 37.273 ge=-123 56.8140:lo
The specimens from this locality with DNA sequences that show Dysstroma walkerata and D. sobria match both species and each other. Therefore, the older named Dysstroma walkerata – Orange-Spotted Carpet Moth – (Pearsall, 1909) will be used for those specimens from this site with comparable DNA sequences.
