Discussion.
This species is included so that comparisons can be made to
E. nonanticaria
described subsequently. Adults (
Figs. 14–17
), male genitalia (
Figs.18–22
), and female genitalia (
Figs. 23–24
) are illustrated. Not illustrated in the male genitalia are the well-developed hairpencils and dorsoventrally bifid uncus.
E. anticaria
occurs from eastern Newfoundland across
Canada
to western British
Columbia
, south to northern New
Mexico
and Apache and Coconino counties, Arizona, with adults from mid-May into July.
Bolte (1990)
placed
anticaria
and
graefi
(Hulst) in his revised
mutata
group, while
McDunnough (1949)
included
anticaria
in his undesignated species-group, but associated with
graefi
.
