Nemoria extremaria (Walker, 1861.) [7028]

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.
N. extremaria is a very small Florida species resembling Nemoria elfa.
