Packard 1873, page 37, Syntype of Hesperumia ochreata Packard 1873
Rindge 1974, page 12, Lectotype of Hesperumia ochreata Packard 1873 “Packard described ochreata from "1 ♂, 2♀, Sierra Nevada, Cal., and Nevada (Edwards)." There are two specimens labeled types in the collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology. One is a male in excellent condition from "California," bearing Henry Edwards's number 1363; in Edwards's catalogue at the American Museum of Natural History the entry for this number says "Hesperumia ochreata Packd., Santa Clara Co., [California], June (H. Edwards), taken by beating bushes in pine forests." The second specimen is a somewhat rubbed female, labeled "Nevada" and Henry Edwards's number 2856. The catalogue entry for this number reads "Hesperumia ochreata Packd., Virginia [City], Nevada, Santa Clara Co. [California], July (H. Edwards), in bushy places; =1363." The third specimen has not been located; there are two males and one female in the American Museum of Natural History labeled Nevada, number 2856, but none bear a type label. As the data on the male in the Museum of Comparative Zoology do not agree with those published in the original description, it is thought advisable to designate the female as lectotype; it is MCZ 14602.”
