U.S. Listed Lepidoptera Species as of August 31, 1997

[Richard Worth]

Hey gang,
I also thought the nominate ssp. of Speyeria callippe from the same 
location as the Mission Blue in SanFrancisco was also on there.  Add 
Fender's Blue (Icaricia icarioides fenderi) to this list as of about 
2000.
Cheers,  Rich

>(As I suspected, there are no U.S. Listed species of micro moths. The only
>moth listed (as of 8/31/97) is a southern Californian sphinx moth.)

>Kern primrose sphinx (Euproserpinus euterpe)
>http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/distr/lepid/moths/usa/1057.htm
>
>Flight:. One brood from February-April.
>
>Caterpillar hosts: Camissonia contorta epilobioides in the primrose family
>(Onagraceae).
>
>Habitat: Pastures and fallow fields.
>
>Range: Walker Basin in Kern County, southern California.
>
>Conservation: This is the rarest sphinx moth in North America. A serious
>threat is filaree (Erodium cicutarium), an exotic weed which the females
>mistake for evening primrose. Eggs laid on this weed hatch but the
>caterpillars do not survive.
