Distribution: USA: AZ, southern FL. Similar Species: Epidromia pannosa Guenée, 1852 typically has a more undulating am. line but this character is not diagnostic. Males are best separated by the wide prominent yellow streak extending from the cell to the outer margin on the underside of the forewing. Females are best separated by association with males but typically have a more tapered abdomen. (Note: females in this genus have abdomens more tapered that males.) Epidromia rotundata Herrich-Schäffer, 1869 typically have forewing more falcate. Males have rounded hindwing, outer margin not angled medially. Pinned specimens of related species.
