Based on the distinctive shape of the valva with a long, free spine near the middle, which is the most convincing synapomorphy for  Thyraylia,  wiscanais transferred to  Thyraylia.    Thyraylia wiscanais easily distinguished from other species of  Thyrayliaby its larger size and forewing pattern ( Fig. 17, 18). Forewing length averages about 9.0 mm, and the pattern includes a pale whitish gray ground color with a pinkish hue and a poorly-defined, beige to rust median fascia that extends uninterrupted from the hind margin to the costa. The only species of Cochylina of similar size in the eastern half of the U.S.are small individuals of  Phtheochroa, most of which are dark brown. The male genitalia ( Fig. 32) are most easily distinguished by the somewhat trifurcate apex of the socii.   Distribution and biology. Aside from the holotypefrom Wisconsin(AMNH), I examined nine specimens from Kentucky(USNM), most of which were collected by malaise trap, and one from Pennsylvania(MSC). Hence, it is possible that this species is diurnal and not avidly attracted to light. Razowski (1997)reported this species from Saskatchewan(n = 2); however, the illustrations of the male genitalia that he provided ( Razowski 1997: figs 100–101) belong to a species of Cochylichroa. The Kentuckyspecimens are all from April, the specimen from Pennsylvaniais from late May‒early June, suggesting a rather early flight period.   Holotype ♀, USA, Wisconsin( AMNH). 2413160987 [199,651,297,323] AMNH United States of America Wisconsin 25 220 1 1 Wisconsin holotype
