Litaneutria skinneri Rehn, 1907 species treatment completed

This species is notable in having an extensive alpine range where brachypterous males predominantly occur, in contrast to other members of the genus that inhabit lower desert, coastal, or plains regions where macropterous males are far more common.  In comparison to other Litaneutria, macropterous males of this species have comparatively large wings. Pan traps are effective in capturing this species and large females may be found drown in muddy pools of rainwater.
