Glover's Silk Moths from Arizona's Mogollon Rim south across the Sonoran region (incl. n. Mexico) are characterized by several traits seemingly unique to these moths. Most notable are the red postmedial scaling typical of cecropia/cecropia blends and the exceptionally large size relative to most other specimens originating in other parts of the gloveri range.
