Taxonomy
Superfamily: Pyraloidea Family: PyralidaeSubfamily: PhycitinaeTribe: PhycitiniP3 Number: 80a0236 MONA Number: 5775.20
Species Status: "Need high quality images to detect presence or absence of reddish scales in these [tenebrosella, fasciata, and rufimaculatella]" (Scholtens, 2017)
Identification
Field Guide Descriptions: Online Resources: MPG, BugGuide, iNaturalist, Google, BAMONA, GBIF, BOLDTechnical Description, Adults: Neunzig (1996)                                                                                 
Adult Markings: Salebriaria fasciata is very similar to S. rufimaculatella in having a broad, well-developed, whitish, antemedial band on the forewing, but it lacks the patch of red scales on the forewing just basal to the antemedial band as seen in S. rufimaculatella (Neunzig, 2003). The reddish patch is sometimes reduced to a group of scattered reddish scales, but reddish scales are never present on S. fasciata. North Carolina specimens of S. fasciata also commonly have a dark, narrow, reversed, V-shaped line within the white band that is either missing or less pronounced in S. rufimaculatella.
Adult ID Requirements: Identifiable from photos showing hindwings, abdomen, or other specialized views [e.g., frons, palps, antennae, undersides].
