michael_butlerDescription
Habitat: Moist depression in hardwood with the understory dominated by Ostrich Fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris). One of two in light trap - the other being: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/61878562. Both vouchered.
To my untrained eye, very much like Papaipema pterisii. I'm wondering if these are candidates for Ostrich Fern Borer, Papaipema sp. 2. nr. pterisii.
https://explorer.natureserve.org/Taxon/ELEMENT_GLOBAL.2.111682/Papaipema_sp_2_nr_pterisii
I note that this taxon is not recognized in the recent Annotated checklist of the moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera) of Canada and Alaska (Pohl et al., 2018).
Thoughts @neoarctia?
