Phylogenetic sequence #620832 Size Heinrich (1926) did not specify wingspan. (6)
Moth Photographers Group has a specimen with 12 mm. wingspan listed. (7)Range Moth Photographers Group – distribution & flight-period chart Season Adult records on Block Island, RI, range from early August to late September. (8)Remarks BOLD data seems to suggest that E. parmatana may be part of a complex. There are at least 8 BIN groups containing specimens identified as that species. All those groups seem closely related. They also include specimens identified as E. marmontana and ochroterminana. There is a lot of variation: BOLD:AAA5484, BOLD:AAA5485, BOLD:AAA5486, BOLD:AAA5487, BOLD:AAA5488, BOLD:AAA5490, BOLD:AAA5491, BOLD:ABZ5526. (Steve Nanz - 3/21/2018) See Also Epiblema otiosana (Bidens Borer) looks similar. See discussion here.
