Discussion.
This species is not new to
Florida
, having been raised on leaves of pepper plant (“
Capsicum frutescens
”;
Dyar 1901
). However, this is the only specimen seen since then. It can be distinguished from other Nearctic species of
Lineodes
Guenée, 1854
and
Atomopteryx
Walsingham, 1891
by maculation and the male fibula, which is straight, needle-like, and oblique to the sacculus. The other species have either no fibula, or one that has a distal expansion with a hook or teeth and that does not reach to the sacculus.
