Remarks

Many of the specimens shown on this page were barcoded and placed in BOLD:AAD3758 (PNW — n. CA-WA-SK), which is the only BIN in the fidella complex with specimens from western North America. The other specimens placed here are from western North America. The type locality of Pigritia fidella is Hazelton, PA, making it unlikely that this BIN represents true fidella.
