'A. forrefactor' - Apatelodes torrefacta
Waynesburg, Ohio, USA
June 1, 1954
Size: apx. 1 inch
We have three moths, in paper, collected in June of 1954. Two from Clinton Co., OH by "Baker" and one in Marion Co., Ohio by Ray Romine. All are identified only as "A. forefactor" -- if we are reading the penmanship correctly. Presumedly an old name and I have not been able to find this as a synonym for any current scientific and common name. Help!
