Synonyms and other taxonomic changes
Eucosma stramineana (Walsingham, 1879)
Sesamia stramineana Walsingham, 1879
Thiodia stramineana Fernald [1903]:462; Heinrich 1923:69(1); McDunnough 1939:45.
Eucosma stramineana Barnes and McDunnough 1917:172.
Phaneta stramineana Powell 1983 (2)
Phylogenetic sequence #620826
Explanation of Names
Specific epithet means "straw-colored" for the "pale straw-colour" of the forewings. (3), (4)
Size
Forewing length 5.6–6.6 mm. (2)
Identification
Wright, 2010 (2)
Range
OR, WY, northern NV and northern CO. (2)
Season
Capture dates range from 16 June to 22 July. (2)
Remarks
This species has been confused with the Eucosma grindeliana complex in collections and references such as Heinrich (1923)(1), Powell & Opler (2009)(5). The confusion was sorted out in Wright (2010)(2).
It appears that stramineana from southern California illustrated in Powell & Opler (2009)(5), fig.15.6, Specimen No. EMEC71297 at Calphotos, may actually be Eucosma clementeana.
See Also
Eucosma clementeana is found in southwest CA. (figs. 45-46). (2)
Eucosma grindeliana complex should be be considered outside the known range of stramineana (see range above). (2)
