Epermenia stolidota

Vè jodi a se yon bèl espès soti an deyò de la Mòn Rocky nan Denver, Epermenia stolidota (Epermeniidae). Sa a se aktyèlman yon pi gwo echantiyon pase li parèt, sou 20mm soti nan Wingtip Wingtip. Moun sa yo ki leve soti vivan, tou nwa, 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). Gen 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.
