Explanation of Names
Pallene from Latin pallens, meaning "pale."
Remarks
This small Carmenta species was originally described from Tabasco, Mexico. The first U.S. record was reported from near Portal, Arizona in 1978 (MONA 5.1 Sesioidea/Sesiidae by Eichlin & Duckworth 1988). Our specimens were collected much farther west in the Patagonia Mountains and show that this moth is likely more wide-spread in southern Arizona (William H. Taft, 27 November, 2008).
