Comments: Specimens in North Carolina include individuals that conform to the original description of material from Florida, as well as a more boldly-marked form that has been found during the summer months. Both forms have similar genitalia and may simply reflect two seasonal color morphs of Aethes triassumenta. It is also possibly that they constitute two species.
