Description/ Field Marks: See Wright (1920), Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 42(14): 489. (USNMENT00906562, the single specimen shown at BOLD as E. lutzi, appears to be misidentified.) Similar Species: Eusarca detractaria is quite different in appearance but BOLD:AAC8063, the BIN for detractaria, contains a specimen which matches the original description and a paratype of lutzi. The type locality for both species is Baboquivari Mountains, AZ. Pinned specimens of related species. (Hint: select View by Region on the related species page.) Synonymy: lutzi Wright, 1920 (Eusarca) - MONA 1983: 6932   Type locality: Holotype: Coyote Mountains, Pima Co., AZ.
