it is found in north america , where it has been recorded from california , colorado , arizona , connecticut , massachusetts , montana , nevada , new mexico , washington , british columbia , manitoba and saskatchewan .

the wingspan is 22 – 27 mm .

the forewings are light greyish yellow , slightly brownish toward the tip and with blackish brown longitudinal lines from the base to the apex , following the veins and becoming heavier and more blackish toward the apex .

three short more pronounced heavy black longitudinal lines independent of the others are very conspicuous and are found , although modified , in all the varieties .

the first and shortest at the base just within the dorsal margin , the second on the fold , also starting more or less clearly from the base , but reaching its characteristic thickness and tone outside the first line and ending as a heavy line just before the middle of the wing , though after continued as one of the general thin lines to the dorsal apical edge .

the third line is midway between the fold and the costal edge and begins at the middle of the wing and reaches to the end of the cell , also continued as one of the fainter lines from the base to the apex .

the hindwings are yellowish fuscous .

adults are on wing from august to october .

the larvae have been reported feeding on ericameria linearifolia .

a taxon identifier is composed of name , author , year and attribute , all separated by a blank . these are all extracted from the original publication .
the name is reproduced exactly as proposed in the original publication . the name of a genus is made up of one word and species made up of two words ( genus and species ) separated by a blank .
the author ' s name is made up of a string of letters , with no blanks , and multiple authors ' names are separated by a comma . spelling of author ' s name is based on the original publication . if there are more than three authors , only the names of the first two authors are shown , followed by

this check list is an update of the pyraloidea by munroe ( 1983 ) and klots ( 1983 ) in hodges et al . ( 1983 ) ( hereafter referred to as the mona check list ) that is now over 30 years old . an updated list of pyraloidea of north america north of mexico is greatly needed because there have been many new species described , higher - level taxonomic and nomenclatural changes , additions and deletions , new synonymies and combinations , and new introductions to the fauna since 1983 .
) . species listed here are mostly established , breeding populations , but also include some strays and recent introductions which may not , ultimately , become established . this check list is also highly influenced by the publication in 1995 of the first check list of neotropical pyraloids ( hereafter known as the ntcl or neotropical check list ) (
) . this list included many changes to the mona check list because it included species in america north of mexico ( indicated with an * in the ntcl ) that were described mostly from u . s . states that border mexico and could possibly extend south into the neotropical region . in addition , the results of studying and comparing type specimens over many years by the authors resulted in many new combinations and synonymies that affected american pyraloid nomenclature .
. to the best of our knowledge the present list is complete up to august 2015 . this check list includes 861 species in the
from north america north of mexico , 168 more than the 1983 list and a total of 1542 species , an increase of more than 10 % .
total number of pyraloidea species in north america north of mexico in major published lists .
in addition , recent work in europe , particularly that by maes ( 1987 , 1994 , [ 2002 ] , 2003 , 2005 ) , leraut ( 1997 , 2002 , 2003a , 2003b , 2005a , 2005b , 2006a , 2006b , [ 2008 ] , 2012 , 2014 ) and nuss ( 1999 , 2005 ) , and work by contributors to the global information system on pyraloidea ( nuss et al . 2003–2015 ) , has clarified placement of many north american taxa and synonymized several genera with european genera .
in this check list we give the complete synonymy as currently known for all species , and list known subspecies with synonyms , indicating where taxa are extralimital or introduced . we have reorganized many of the genera based on the ntcl ( munroe 1995a , b ; solis 1995 ; solis , becker and munroe 1995 ; m . shaffer and solis 1995 ; j . shaffer 1995 ) because it reflects a more recent concept of generic relationships . we have also followed landry ( 1995 ) for the arrangement of genera in the crambinae . we have not included the taxonomic rank of tribe because so many are not based on characters , or the tribal structure breaks down upon study of the tribe in other regions of the world . we also list described subgenera as synonyms because they are not universally applied to most of the list .
we opted not to create a new numbering system for the list , but have included the original mona and ntcl numbers ( even when a name is in new synonymy ) for cross - reference to those lists . we anticipate a new numbering system will be in place when the entire north american check list becomes available on - line . when lists are numbered , the computer sorting and ordering of taxa phylogenetically becomes onerous , particularly as species are reassigned to genera or subfamilies and new species are described . in our database , we have assigned sequential numbers to superfamilies , families , subfamilies , tribes and genera , in addition to species ( currently with mona numbers and additions interpolated with decimals ) . figure
shows a data record illustrating this system . these number assignments are for internal database use only and allow for correct hierarchical sorting to higher - level taxa while still retaining the original species numbers , allowing phylogenetic sorting rather than only alphabetic . this logic could easily be extended to subgenera or species groups , particularly for very large genera . this avoids complete renumbering of species in the database , and allows easy reference to the previous list . we intend to keep this database ( maintained by bgs ) current , including updates in globiz (
) . the database can generate an unformatted version of this check list , or export into excel format .
we and our colleagues who study pyraloidea are aware of other undescribed species , new synonymies , and new combinations , but we have not included these in the list pending publication . molecular data have also recently been applied to species level questions in the pyraloidea , ( e . g . anania – yang et al . 2012 ) and we expect additional discoveries and changes to nomenclature . small groups such as the pyralinae , epipaschiinae , and galleriinae are likely to have just a handful of additional species when revised at the species level . most future additions are likely to be in the largest subfamilies , the spilomelinae , crambinae , and phycitinae where some genera remain to be described , larger genera are known to be polyphyletic ( see misplaced species at the end of genera in the ntcl ) , and smaller genera may be paraphyletic to other genera . recent molecular work has largely supported previous morphological studies , but we expect generic concepts to experience significant changes in the future because most generic taxonomic groupings still require adequate investigation using morphological and molecular techniques .
we plan to continue updating this list , thus we welcome information on omissions , corrections , additions or updates .
