Diagnosis. Schinia volupia is an extremely variable species across its wide geographic range. Specimens most resembling the holotype have a dark reddish-pink forewing and dark pink hind wing (Figs. 22–23). Forewing ground color can vary from ochreous (Figs. 15–16), gradually becoming more pink (Figs. 17–18), to darker pink (Figs. 19–21), to dark reddish-pink, to maroon (Figs. 24–25). All of these forms have a pink to slightly darker pink hind wing. In other forms the forewing is mixed with dark reddish-pink and ochreous (Figs. 26–29) and these have a gray hind wing mixed with some pink. Specimens previously recognized as S. masoni (Smith) have a dark reddish-pink forewing and dark gray hind wing (Figs. 30–31). There is also variation in the form of the antemedial and postmedial lines varying from a solid, thin white line (Figs. 15–18) to becoming a series of short dashes along wing veins that may or may not be connected by pale pink scales (Figs. 19–31). Description. Head: Frons, vertex, and labial palp ochreous; eyes large, round. Thorax: Ground color darker ochreous than head. Foretibia with an elongate, curved inner spine with 1–2 smaller more slender spines proximally and 3–4 smaller, stout outer spines that are reduced in size proximally; middle and hind legs with obvious spines with the middle leg having a few more than the hind leg. Forewing (Figs. 12–28, 81–82): Length 9.0–11.6 mm; ground color variable from pink to dark pink to maroon; antemedial line crenulate, curved; orbicular spot variable in size from a few white scales to a small spot contiguous with the antemedial line; reniform spot absent; postmedial line a white quadrate spot on the costa then forms a zigzag line to posterior margin; fringe testaceous flushed with pink. Hind wing: Ground color pink to dark pink flushed with testaceous; fringe testaceous with pink basally. Abdomen: Ochreous with a variable amount of pink caudally. Second sternite with well developed hair pencil and associated pocket. Male genitalia (Figs. 38–40, 44): Uncus of moderate length, length 0.31–0.33 X length of valve; valve length 5.26–6.67 X width, apex narrow, robust setae along slightly scalloped posterior margin; corona reduced, consisting of less than eight setae or absent; ampulla large (length= 0.10–0.12 X length of valve); saccus V-shaped. Female genitalia (Figs. 60–63): Papillae anales triangulate, apex narrowly rounded; eighth segment with fine, elongate spicules; seventh segment with fine spicules extending onto distal margin, an irregular row of fine, elongate setae proximal to fine spicules, and shorter fine setae sparsely scattered on rest of segment; accessory bursae with three coils; corpus bursae slightly ovate; signa consisting of four elongate scobinate ribbons.
