Description

Cuivre River State Park 6/6/15 Paul Dennehy writes:

"Here's my take on them- I've never seen any good explanation about the supposed differences that make these different species. My references (Forbes and Covell) both consider them the same species, and unless someone comes up with a paper showing genitalia or larva differences, I'm inclined to believe that. As far as the ranges go, if you believe ferruminaria is a species, that's the widespread one over eastern Canada and the eastern U.S., and rubromarginaria is found along the west coast from BC to CA, and possibly western Alberta. If you believe that they're one species, then they're all rubromarginaria, since that's the older name. So on the maps on BG and MPG, you're seeing a pretty accurate distribution of ferruminaria (except that one dot in Washington), whereas for rubromarginaria, you're seeing both "true" rubromarginaria represented by the dots all along the west coast, and the rest of the points representing "ferruminaria", which those observers just called "rubromarginaria" because they don't consider ferruminaria to be a species. So if you consider ferruminaria to be a species, that's what these would be. If not, then they're rubromarginaria, along with all the others. How you decide to split the genus up will determine what your ID is, which is why there is a giant mess on BugGuide of some people calling everything rubromarginaria and some people calling their eatern ones ferruminaria."
