L. (Tanysaccus) sublustris (Braun)
Adult Characteristics
Wingspan 12-16 mm. Forewing unicolorus, pale straw yellow. Hindwing uniformly gray.
Comparison with similar species
Very similar to, and possibly conspecific with, aenescens. I know of no published traits that distinguish the two species, and members of both entities and intergrades are frequently found together (Pellmyr, unpubl. obs.).
Host, oviposition, and larval feeding habits
Probably on Rosa woodsii (Pellmyr, unpubl. data).
Geographic distribution
Southern British Columbia, Canada, south to northern California, eastward to Alberta (Canada), Utah, and Colorado.
Habitat
Open shrubby grassland with rose shrubs.
References
Holotype in the Acadeny of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, USA.
