Four males of Dalla bubobon (Dyar, 1921), were collected at Los Chorros del Varal, Los Reyes, Michoacán, Mexico, in July, 1990. Only three other, very old specimens of D. bubobon were previously known in collections. A short description of bubobon is provided, including illustrations of adults and the male genitalia. Dalla bubobon is compared to similar species of Piruna and Dalla that occur in western and southern Mexico, primarily using genitalic characters.
