About Lophocampa indistincta Barnes & McDunnough, 1910
This is a description of the adult male of the moth species Lophocampa indistincta Barnes & McDunnough, 1910. The moth's general body color is dark ocherous. Its palpi, front of the head, and antenna shafts are light yellow, while the thorax bears faint, indistinct darker patches. The markings on its primary forewings are very obscure. Three light yellowish spots sit along the costa of the forewing; the first two of these spots each have a small matching-colored spot located inward from them. There is an obscure spot just beyond the forewing cell; a faint, broken brown line extends from this spot to the middle of the inner forewing margin. Beyond this line, a second faint line starts at vein M2 and ends above the inner margin in a solid spot that is slightly lighter than the wing's base color. A brown, toothed submarginal line runs across the forewing, and this line is most distinct at the wing apex. The secondary hindwings are hyaline, meaning they have a transparent, glass-like appearance, and are tinted yellow at the anal angle. On the underside of the wings, both wings are hyaline. The forewings are broadly covered with dark ochreous suffusion across the apex and outer margin. The costal margin of both wings is yellowish. A brown marking is present just beyond the cell on the underside, and there is an incomplete submarginal row of brown spots on this surface. The total wingspan of this moth is 43 mm.
