Scotogramma fervida Barnes & McDunnough, 1912

Lafontaine & Schmidt (2010) listed 15 species of the genus Scotogramma in America north of Mexico. (1)

Barnes & McDunnough (1912) listed the wingspan 31 mm.

Barnes & McDunnough (1912) stated "Is closely related to trifolii and albifusa but can be most readily separated by the general rough and diffuse appearance, the broad bulbous lower half of the reniform which is often prominently filled with blue-black, and the even s. t. line with scarcely a trace of the W mark."

Records from throughout western North America. (2)

Holotype collected Ft. Wingate, New Mexico.

The flight period appears to be May to October with the peak in June and July. (2)
