Description: Yellowish-white with a reddish-orange color pattern on the wings. The top of the head typically has two parallel submedial lines, often with a lateral branch; the midline is pale. The reddish-orange marks can also have some yellow coloration, as can the Y, V, or M-shaped mark on the pronotum. The scutellum has yellowish-orange lateral triangles. Adults are around 3.0 mm long.

Comment: Most Eratoneura species have very similar colorations, consisting of orange to red wing and body markings that contrasts with a yellowish-white base color. Patterns can vary within species, and therefore assigning an ID based off of visual characteristics alone for many species is essentially a guessing game. Dissection of specimens, with examination of male genitalia, is the only way to identify a majority of Eratoneura species. THis page therefore encompasses any individuals that fall into this category of "coloration typical for genus." There are perhaps dozens of possible species in this category, making an identification a futile effort. To take a look at specimens of Eratoneura species, many of which fall into this category, see: (3I).

NOTE: Records exist for some Eratoneura species in North Carolina, but these species are not easily identifiable and its unclear if these identifications are correct (sometimes they are not); therefore, these records have not been entered into the site.
