Remarks

Anormenis septentrionalis is actually Anormenis chloris, according to Dr. L. O'Brien, because the type-specimen of A. septentrionalis is not North American - Note from Andy Hamilton.

The double line of apical cells on the wing is characteristic of this species in our eastern fauna; elsewhere, this is only (at best) a generic character. It defines "Ormenis", which has been split up into various generic segregates such as Anormenis, Melormenis etc. The complex needs more work, so expect changes in names in the near future. Note from Andy Hamilton.
