Ponedjeljak Moljac

Epermenia stolidota

Današnji moljac je prekrasna vrsta iz Stjenjaka izvan Denvera, Epermenia stolidota (Epermeniidae). Ovo je zapravo veći primjerak nego što se čini, oko 20 mm od vrha krila do vrha krila. Oni podignuti, potamnio, tufts of scales on the posterior edge of the forewing is a great character for this family, as well as the stiff bristles on the hind tibia (also somewhat visible here). Ima 11 species in 2 genera in the United States, with likely a few more to be discovered. Fellow curatorial assistant David Bettman keyed this species out using the revision of the Nearctic species: PDF here.
