Containing group: Lampronia

Adult Characteristics

Wingspan 12-16 mm. Forewing unicolorus, pale straw yellow. Hindwing uniformly gray.

Comparison with Similar Species

Very similar to, and possibly conspecific with, aenescens. I know of no published traits that distinguish the two species, and members of both entities and intergrades are frequently found together (Pellmyr, unpubl. obs.).

Host, Oviposition, and Larval Feeding Habits

Probably on Rosa woodsii (Pellmyr, unpubl. data).

Geographic Distribution

Southern British Columbia, Canada, south to northern California, eastward to Alberta (Canada), Utah, and Colorado.

Habitat

Open shrubby grassland with rose shrubs.

Type

Holotype in the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, USA.

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
