Lepidopa spp. Knight, 1970: 141 (part).

REMARKS: Some part of the larvae referred to by Knight (1970) under this blanket heading of Lepidopa spp. are undoubtedly L. myops . However, because L. californica and L. myops are still the only species of this genus known from the Pacific side of Baja California, the identity of these other larvae is unclear. Lepidopa sp. B may only represent additional variability in the larvae of L. californica , but more study and more specimens from the west coast of Baja California are required to answer this question with any certainty.
