Nemoria extremaria (Walker, 1861.) [7028]


Above, Nemoria extremaria, collected Archbold Biological Station, Highland Co., FL, collection AMNH. Below: Nemoria extremaria female. Specimen collected by Bob Belmont, Collier Co., Florida, 6 November 1993.


Nemoria extremaria female, at left, showing red front, broad, white interantennal fillet, and red legs. Traces of a few red scales at wing vein endings in the location where a red terminal line is commonly found may be a useful diagnostic characteristic -these are typically only visible under a microscope. Some specimens of Nemoria extremaria show bright pink fringes; see for example the Florida specimen image here.
N. extremaria is a very small Florida species resembling Nemoria elfa.
