Remarks

This species was mistakely placed in Lypotigris on BugGuide and MPG previously. This species is listed as Lygropia fusalis in Scholtens and Solis (2015). They list the only Lypotigris species in our area to be Lypotigris reginalis (1). Dr. Scholtens says that "I think the move to Lypotigris must have been a mistake by someone along the way. I can't find any evidence that it has ever been moved. Not in Munroe (1995) or on GlobIZ (pyraloid database on line). L. fusalis is indicated as misplaced, but no one has yet indicated where it should be placed, so it remains in Lygropia."
