| Abstract: | Antaeotricha
floridella
sp. n. is described and diagnosed from the closely similar Antaeotricha
albulella (Walker). The species is distributed in xeric sandhill and scrub habitats in peninsular Florida, USA, and larvae feed on Quercus species. Keys are given for pale-winged Stenomatinae and similar Gelechioidea based on external characters and genitalia. |
