Hackberry Emperor - aberrant - Asterocampa celtis - Male
Carver, Newton County, Arkansas, USA
May 28, 2003
Apparently this strange Hackberry Emperor is a known abberation. There is an aberrant of Asterocampa celtis, named ab."inornata" that was named in 1916 from Nebraska. The derivation of "inornata", roughly meaning, lacking ornamentations, seems appropriate (thanks David Wright). Charles Ely reports: "I have a specimen that looks identical taken in Cherokee Co, Kansas 28 v 1987 by Marvin D Schwilling & a less strikingly marked specimen from Ellis Co, Kansas taken 30 vi 1987
