Mark,
Where can I find the proceedings describing. I haven't been able to locate with search. Thanks
Robert

 
Oops!
I'm sorry, I see that I wrote in the wrong journal. Here's the correct citation:

Davis, DR, MS Fox & RF Hazen (2013). SYSTEMATICS AND BIOLOGY OF CALOPTILIA TRIADICAE(LEPIDOPTERA: GRACILLARIIDAE), A NEW SPECIES OF LEAF-MINING MOTH OF THE INVASIVE CHINESE TALLOW TREE(TRIADICA SEBIFERA(L.) EUPHORBIACEAE). Journal of the Lepidopterists’ Society 67(4), 281–290.

If you have any trouble accessing it, let me know and I can email you a pdf.

 
Got it ...
Awesome paper ... one of the best written I've read. Description is spot on. One last question, has anybody decided what Hodges to assign to this new species? Thanks

 
Good question!
I don't know. I'm not sure how that process typically works, but I can ask Don about it. Also, thanks for the kind words, it was definitely a privilege to get to work with him on the manuscript!
