_Epelis truncataria_ foodplant

[Kenelm Philip]

	According to Forbes (Part II, 1948, p. 49), _E. truncataria_ was
reported to feed on _Arctostaphylos_ in Colorado, by Dyar. Tietz lists
_Arctostaphylos uva-ursi_, but refers to Forbes, and Dyar (Psyche 9:298,
1902). A more recent publication is McGuffin: 'Guide to the Geometridae
of Canada II Ennominae 1, p. 14-15 (1972), where _A. uva-ursi_ is listed
as the larval foodplant in Quebec.
