| description |
A greenish species, the wings of adults can vary from having moderately dense reticulated venation to having sparsely reticulated venation with unmarked clavi.
The size range for males is 8.5-10.0 mm in length; females are typically 9.5-11.0 mm (female Gyponanas tend to be 1.0 mm longer than males, though some are even longer) (Hamilton 1982). |
| distribution |
Eastern North America |
| abundance |
Recorded from a single county in the Piedmont, likely under collected and therefore more abundant in the right habitat. |
| seasonal_occurrence | |
| habitat |
Has been found in open grassy areas near mixed hardwood forest. |
| plant associates |
|
| behavior |
Can be attracted at night with a light. |
| comments |
Some individuals of this species could be confused with G. geminata but can be told apart by size; it is therefore important to obtain measurements for individuals that have sparsely reticulated veins.
Records on here are tentative so far until a male is obtained. |
