The Precious Underwing (''Catocala pretiosa'') is a moth of the Erebidae family. It was included in ''Catocala crataegi'' by many authors, but recently it has been revalidated as a distinct species. It is found from Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey west to Pennsylvania and south to Virginia and North Carolina and west to Tennessee into Louisiana and Oklahoma. Subspecies ''texarkana'' is found from Florida to Texas. The wingspan is 40–50 mm. Adults are on wing from May to June. There is probably one generation per year. Larvae feed on ''Amelanchier'', ''Malus'', ''Photinia arbutifolia'', and ''Prunus maritima''. The larvae of ssp. ''texarkana'' have been recorded on ''Crataegus''. ==Subspecies== *''Catocala pretiosa pretiosa'' *''Catocala pretiosa texarkana'' Brower, 1976 – Texarkana Underwing (Florida to Texas) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Catocala pretiosa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
