Thanks Andy

for identifying another new species for the guide!!!

Catonia pumila

This is a smaller species than C. nava, and less boldly patterned (for example, C. nava has the edges of the wings pale, except for a long, blackish patch near the base).

There are very few host records for this species, but one was taken on a small maple (as was this one). Another was taken "in aunt nest"! Immature Achilids are thought to feed on fungus.

Catonia pumila

Thanks Andy! That was the other species I had considered and I had a strong suspicion you would know better than I!!
