6 NC Records
Aroga trialbamaculella complex
none - Red-Striped Fireworm Moth
Taxonomy
Family:
Gelechiidae
P3 Number:
0.00
MONA Number:
2198.10
Species Status:
Aroga trialbamaculella
,
A. argutiella
, and
A. epigaeella
show so much overlap in external appearance that they are indistinguishable based on photographs. In addition,
A. trialbamaculella
as currently recognized may contain two cryptic species based on BOLD data. This page was established for photographic records of specimens that conform to these three species. We currently do not have any North Carolina records of
A. epigaeella
based on dissections, but it could occur in the state.
