Charadra dispulsa Morrison, 1875: 214 .

Type material. Type locality: [ USA:] “ Waco , Texas.” Holotype female. MCZ; photograph examined, available at http://insects.oeb.harvard.edu/ MCZ /.

Diagnosis. A relatively small, pale silvery-grey species with few forewing markings that are largely confined to a narrow, black antemedial line and a prominent partial medial band from the costa to mid wing. Th e small size, pale colour, reduced markings, lack of central orbicular black scales, and black medial dash connecting the AM and PM lines allow this species to easily be distinguished.

Distribution and biology. Occurs from Texas southward and westward to at least San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Collection records range from March through May and July for southern Texas. Nothing is known of the larval stages or food plants, but larvae are possibly oak feeders.

Remarks. Barcode sequence for one specimen of C. dispulsa was available, which differed about 3.5% from C. deridens , 4% from C. moneta , and 6% from C. franclemonti .
