Description

Craspedolepta furcata (Caldwell, 1936)

(Fig. 45, 47, 57, 59–61, 63–65, 69–71)

Aphalara furcata Caldwell 1936: 221.

Craspedolepta furcata (Caldwell); Journet 1973: 454; Russell 1973: 157; Journet and Vickery 1979: 62.

Materials examined. Canada: British Colombia, Quebec; USA: Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia (MHNG, NHMB, USNM, dry and slide mounted). – Florida: 1 ♀, Martin County: Hobe Sound, 24.vi.1939 (Oman) (USNM, dry mounted); 2 ♀, Nassau County: Hilliard, 5.x.1938 (Oman) (USNM, dry mounted);

Diagnosis. See under C. bifida.

Distribution. Canada (AB, BC, MB, NB, NS, ON, QC, SK); USA (AL, AR, CA, CT, DC, FL, KS, ME, MD, MI, MN, MO, MT, NH, NJ, NY, OH, OR, PA, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WI, WY) (Hodkinson 1988). – Florida: Martin and Nassau counties.

Host plant. According to Journet and Vickery (1979), Euthamia graminifolia (L.) Nutt. and Solidago canadensis L. (Asteraceae), but also Aster sp. (Asteraceae) and Epilobium sp. (Onagraceae). More studies are required to confirm these taxa as hosts, though the last two are unlikely.
