Herminiinae</i> Small to medium-sized (20–40 mm wingspan) moths with relatively broad wings and narrow bodies. Th ey are defined on the basis of several internal and tympanal structures. Many species have distinctive secondary male sexual organs occurring on almost any part of the body, including swellings on the antennae and hair brushes on the palps or legs. The larvae feed mainly on fungus on dead leaves in various states of decomposition, but diets range from fungus to living vascular plant material. A few species feed on other material including dead insects, dried fruit, and dung. The Herminiinae occur worldwide, with the main diversity in the tropics. Approximately 100 species in 20 genera occur in North America. Sixteen species (including at least one undescribed) in nine genera occur in AB. Th e subfamily is need of revision. The only recent taxonomic work on the group is a revision of the genus <i>Macrochilo</i> (Ferguson 1982). Most AB species were treated by Forbes (1954). 1654 * R <i>Idia americalis</i> (Guenée, 1854) E May – L Sep M B g T: Forbes (1954) L: Bowman (1951), Crumb (1956), Pohl et al.

Only recently recognized as a valid family-group (see summary in Lafontaine and Schmidt in press), Pangraptinae currently contains only two species in two genera in North America, with additional species in <i>Pangrapta</i> (likely representing multiple unrecognized genera) in the Old World tropics. Only <i>Pangrapta decoralis</i>, the type-species of the genus, occurs in AB. 1670 * R <i>Pangrapta decoralis</i> Hübner, 1818 L Jun – B – T: Forbes (1954), Covell (1984) L: None C: UASM <i>60.5. Rivulinae</i> Small (15–20 mm wingspan), broad-winged nocturnal moths. Th e subfamily is defined mainly by larval characters, but adults also have unique microsculpturing of the proboscis. Although this group was included in the Hypeninae by Kitching and Rawlins (1999), Fibiger and Lafontaine (2005) placed the rivulines in their own subfamily, as they share no derived characters with the Hypeninae. Unlike many of the other primitive quadrifine groups, the larvae feed on living vascular plants. There are relatively few Rivulinae species globally; a number of species in the genus <i>Rivula</i> are found worldwide. Nine species in three genera occur in North America, one of which occurs in AB. The group is in need of revision, but the sole AB species was treated by Forbes (1954) and Covell (1984). 1671 R <i>Rivula propinqualis</i> Guenée, 1854 L Jun – M Aug m B g T: Forbes (1954), Covell (1984) L: Bowman (1951), Pohl et al.

Adults of several AB species are sexually dimorphic. Several species hibernate and overwinter as adults. The group is defined by a unique set of larval characters (Beck 1999 – 2000). Some larvae are semiloopers. Th ey feed on various vascular plants. Hypeninae occur worldwide. In North America, the subfamily is comprised of about 30 species, all but one in the genus <i>Hypena</i>. Eight species in two genera occur in AB. Most of the species listed here were treated by Forbes (1954). 1672 R <i>Hypena bijugalis</i> (Walker, 1859) M May – E Jul – B – T: Forbes (1954) L: Bowman (1951) C: CNC, NFRC, UASM 1673 R <i>Hypena palparia</i> (Walker, 1861) L Jun – L Jul – B – T: Forbes (1954) L: Bowman (1951), Ives and Wong (1988) C: CNC, OLDS, UASM 1674 * R <i>Hypena deceptalis</i> (Walker, 1859) L Jun – E Jul – b g T: Forbes (1954) L: None C: BIRD, OLDS 1675 R <i>Hypena atomaria</i> Smith, 1903 L Jun – L Jul – B g T: Forbes (1954) L: Bowman (1951), Pohl et al.

Scoliopteryginae</i> Medium-sized (40–70 mm wingspan), robust moths, often with prominent ‘beaked’ palps and a sinuate forewing anal margin. Th e proboscis of adults is modified with tearing hooks for piercing fruit. This subfamily was previously treated as a subgroup of the Calpinae (Lafontaine and Schmidt in press). This group is most widespread and has the greatest species richness in the tropical regions of the world. Eleven species occur in North America. A diagnosis of the single species occurring in AB was treated by Forbes (1954) and Covell (1984).
