Map 5
Colobaea canadensis
has been found only in the province of
Manitoba
,
Canada
. It most closely resembles
C.
bifasciella
in that both species have a dull, tomentose, setose, yellow frons; a similarly shaped head; two pairs of postalar setae; and R
1
extending to the level of the r-m crossvein. These two species can be readily distinguished from each other, however, as
C. canadensis
has a mainly shiny black body and unpatterned wings, whereas
C. bifasciella
has a yellow body with black markings and patterned wings. Nothing is known about the biology or immature stages of
C. canadensis
.
