infernalis Saussure, 1884: 70 [ Arphia ].

Texas. Unspecified number of ♁.

Lectotype ♁ (designated by Otte, 1984: 312) with labels: “ Arphia frigida ?, Ft. McKin., Wyo. 7-83, No.” [determination and date handwritten, the rest printed on white card]; “ Arphia infernalis Sauss. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “TYPE Otte 1982” [handwritten in pencil on white card]. Specimen set with wings spread; the right antenna is missing. Two other ♁ specimens are present, one with the same data label as the specimen designated as the lectotype. There is also a ♁ with labels: “Dallas, Texas ” [printed on white paper]; “ Arphia infernalis Sauss. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “ Syntype of A. infernalis Sauss. 1884 (based on locality data). Hollier 2011” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen set with wings spread. This specimen is almost certainly a syntype, but the specimen designated as lectotype by Otte is probably not part of the type series (having a different locality) making the designation invalid. Box V1.

A junior synonym of Arphia conspersa Scudder, 1875 .
