Spodolepis substriataria

Attracted to an incandescent porch light. Temperature 50 degrees F, light rain.

According to Bug Guide, this is "the only species in this genus in North America and the world" although they also include Spodolepis danbyi (this is sometimes treated as a subspecies Spodolepis substriataria danbyi).

  Yes. Might have sounded better if they'd simply written it as "the only species in the genus" which it seems to be at this point. Posted 6 years ago
