Neohermes concolor - female

Neohermes concolor - Female
Hwy 55 and Sedwick, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
May 30, 2005
Size: 42 mm
Found at a lighted wall and captured. Length 42 mm (head to tip of folded wings), approximately 32 mm to tip of abdomen. This is presumably Neohermes angusticollis, the only species on regional checklists and museum listings, but I do not have access to a key for this genus. Structure of antennae and abdomen indicates this is a female. Images of a male found slightly earlier at the same location will be uploaded for comparison, and compare others already in the guide.

This is an uncommon species, apparently. Look closely at Chauliodes you find at lights--it could be a Neohermes instead. Look carefully at the structure of the antennae. Neohermes has moniliform antennae, resembling beads on a string. Chauliodes has comb-like or serrate antennae.

Image updated 7/10/20. Identified as Neohermes concolor--see comments on this image:
