Arboridia abolla |
| description |
A mostly bicolored species, with reddish-brown wings that have contrasting pale apices. The scutellum, pronotum, and vertex are largely concolorous with the wings, being a reddish-orange to reddish-brown color. Note: some individuals can have an entirely yellow color pattern, instead of reddish-brown. The face is pale; the underside of the thorax is either entirely pale or has a dark mesosternum. The abdomen is blackish dorsally. Adults are 2.8- 3.2 mm long. (Dmitriev & Dietrich, 2009) |

| comments |
This species could be confused with E. vinaria, a species that has not yet been recorded in North Carolina. This species is similarly colored but has darker wings (not as strong of a contrast with wing tips, and the color seems to extend closer to the tips, reaching the apical crossveins), a brown face, and an entirely dark underside of the thorax. |
