Plega signata (Hagen, 1877)

Symphrasis signata Hagen, 1877: 208 . Holotype: female, USA, California (MCZ), not studied.

Plega signata; Navás 1927: 326 (cit.); Rehn 1939: 241 (redesc.); Ferris 1940 (morph.); Lisnley & MacSwain 1955: 18 (cit.); Parker & Stange 1965 (cit.); Penny 1982b: 422 (cit); 1997: 73 (list.); Henry et al. 1992: 449 (cit.); Oswald et al. 2002: 580 (list.); Ohl 2004: 148 (cat.); Reynoso-Velasco & Contreras-Ramos 2008: 707 (list.).

Remarks. This species has been recorded in Colombia (Penny 1977), but according to Henry et al. (1992), it is restricted to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. Moreover, Hoffman (2002) mentions that P. hagenella was cited as Symphrasis signata by Navás (1924) in Costa Rica without a specified locality. In this work we consider that the record of P. signata from Colombia as an erroneous one.

Distribution. Colombia (erroneous record), Costa Rica, Mexico, United States.
