Coordinator notes: This is either <i>Eulithis diversilineata</i> or <i>Eulithis gracilineata</i>. Adults of these two species cannot be separated by appearance alone without rearing or dissection. However, the forewing measures do not overlap (Lesser (<i>Eulithis diversilineata</i>) 12-15 mm; Greater (<i>Eulithis gracilineata</i>) 16-19 mm). Thus, photographs with a millimeter rule are crucial for identification.
