content: December 11, 2007, by Reed A. Watkins: The original description of Platyptilia cooleyi Fernald states: "Described from seven examples taken in Marshall Pass, Colorado, July 15, 1888, and one taken in Colorado by Bruce." These 3 male and 4 female specimens are 7 of the 8 of that type series. See Barnes & Lindsey (1921: Contrib. Nat. Hist. Lep. N. Am. 4 (4), pp. 338-339) in which they identify the Bruce specimen as Platyptilia modesta Walsingham. They also say that they did not locate the 7th specimen from Marshall Pass. Neither have I.
