Nemoria saturiba male, collection of the Academy
of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (ANSP); specimen collected 08 August
1984,
Oktibbeha Co., Mississippi. |
| While similar to
Nemoria lixaria
in wing appearance
and red terminal line markings, Nemoria saturiba can be
distinguished from lixaria by the distinctive red patches on the
abdomen in place of the sharp white spots found on
Nemoria lixaria
and
Nemoria bistriaria.
(see photo
above right). Larval form is quite distinct from other Eastern
Nemoria species and easily distinguish saturiba from
lixaria. For images of
