Tonight while looking through some old trap samples from 2004, I found a
what appears to be a new species for New York: Cyclophora nanaria (Dwarf
Tawny Wave). I caught the beast on 3 Aug 2004 at Teddy Roosevelt County
Park in Montauk, Suffolk Co, NY. I have found a single record for
Maryland,
otherwise it appears to be a stray on the East Coast. The Maryland record
i=
s
from a serpentine barrens, and my record is from a xeric grassland, so I
suppose there is a chance that this is a rare member of the coastal
grassland fauna. I=B9m wondering whether anyone on any of these lists
knows
anything about this moth (range, ecology, host plant, etc.) or if anyone
knows of any other NY or northeastern records. I can post a photo if
anyone
is interested. =20
In the last year, I have found several species that appear to be new for
Ne=
w
York, and I hope to post a note about each one in the near future.
