Schinia spinosae

[David Wagner]

Gary,

	The larvae that I suspect are Schnia spinosae were collected on 
Polygonella articulata (Polygonaceae).  This would add another host family 
to what is the third largest genus of North American macroleps (with 122 or 
so species).  To the best of my knowledge Schinia were thought to feed on 
but six host families.

According to Hardwick (1996) the larvae is NOT known.  Adults have been
associated with blossoms of Chrysopsis falcata.  And thats all he wrote,
folks.
