Taxonomic Note
Sympistis sagittata was originally described by Barnes and McDunnough in 1916. The Sympistis has undergone significant taxonomic revision, with many formerly placed in related genera such as Oncocnemis and others now included within Sympistis.

The lack of specific , , or records suggests that focused survey work would be valuable for this species.
