Size
2.3–3.7 mm(1)
Identification
orange/red spots evenly dispersed across the wings; crossvein near the wingtip oblique (transverse in Erythroneura s.str.)
identification of the "typically marked" species requires dissection
Range
e NA to AZ (BG data); none known so far from Mexico(1)
Habitat
hardwood forests
Food
most feed on oak, but E. maculata, E. lamucata and E. noncuspidis feed on poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans)
