Description

Hypotrix ferricola features an unmistakeable orange and black streaked forewing pattern.

H. ferricola is closely related to the mexican Hypotrixaselenographa (Dyar, 1916); the two can be distinguished using the subterminal line, which on H. ferricola runs parallel to the wing margin before curving out near the forewing apex (on H. aselenographa it is nearly straight to the forewing). H. ferricola also features visible orbicular and reniform spots; on H. aselenographa these spots are completely obscured. [1]

Ecology and behavior

Most records are from ponderosa pine forests. Adults are on wing from early April to early August possibly representing several generations.
