Identification
Field Guide Descriptions: Online Resources: MPG, BugGuide, iNaturalist, Google, BAMONA, GBIF, BOLDTechnical Description, Adults: Forbes (1923); Klots (1970)                                                                                 
Adult Markings: A small, cream-colored Crambid. The veins are marked with fine dark lines, with heavier dark streaks in the interspaces (Forbes, 1923); the streak opposite the cell is faint, however, compared to those in the other interspaces (Dyar, cited by Klots, 1970). Transverse lines are absent but there is a series of dark spots along the terminus. The discal spot is also dark but ringed with white. The hindwings are nearly white. Xubida linearella is similar in pattern and color but the veins in the interspaces beyond the cell are all similar in shading (Klots, 1970). Eoreuma densellus is also similar in size, color, and pattern but the veins are white and bounded by dark.
Wingspan: 12-15 mm (Forbes, 1923)
Adult Structural Features: Male reproductive structures are used as key characters in a key provided by Klots (1970); a detailed description and illustrations are also provided.
Structural photos
Adult ID Requirements: Identifiable from good quality photos of unworn specimens.

Habitats and Life History
Habitats: The majority of our records come from wet, open lakeshore or riparian habitats.
Larval Host Plants: Larval host plants appear to be unknown. Klots (1970) states that many species in this group are borers in the soft stems of monocots. - View
