Description/
Field Marks: |
"Fore-wings, brownish-fuscous, with a strong white line of even width running from the middle of the base to the apical margin below the apex; the extreme costa very narrowly whitish beyond the middle; cilia brownish-fuscous with a few white scales along the costa and beneath the apex." (Walsingham 1988).
"Recognition of this species is based solely on the male lectotype, which is the only known specimen..."; the paralectotypes (1 ♀ USNM (see below), 1 ♀ BMNH) are not conspecific and it is unknown if either are conspecific with the lectotype (Landry 1991:139). |
| Similar Species: |
- Caution: There are many similar species, both described and undescribed, in Scythrididae. For placement even to genus, dissection may be required.
- Pinned specimens of related species. (Hint: select View by Region on the related species page.)
