Catoptria latiradiellus, the three-spotted crambus moth or two-banded catoptria, is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1863. [1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Yukon and British Columbia to Newfoundland, south to Pennsylvania, Michigan and Colorado. [2] The habitat consists of wet tundra, boreal forests and grasslands.

The wingspan is 19–24 mm. The forewings are reddish brown with a silvery-white stripe crossed by two diagonal medium-brown bands. There is a terminal series of black dots. The basal part of the hindwings is whitish and light brown distally. Adults are on wing from July to August. [3]

The larvae probably feed on mosses. [4]

<i>Euparthenos</i> genus of insects

Euparthenos is a monotypic moth genus in the family Erebidae erected by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1876. Its only species, Euparthenos nubilis, the locust underwing, was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1823. The adults resemble some of the underwing moths of genus Catocala, which are fairly close relatives, in color, pattern, and the habit of resting on tree trunks. But E. nubilis can usually be immediately recognized by the four concentric black bands per hindwing, as opposed to one or two in Catocala. Color morphs of E. nubilis with altered pattern are known, however, and these may be hard to recognize without detailed examination.
