lynceus Bliven, 1955 View in CoL

Type locality: USA, California

Host plant: Unknown. Remarks: Bliven (1955) described this species in a monotypic genus, but it clearly belongs with other North American species previously in Euphalerus feeding on Ceanothus and Cercocarpus ; both D.D. Jensen (in collection annotations, EMEC) and Hodkinson (1988) suggested Nyctiphalerus should be synonomized with this group. Bliven’s specimens examined ( CAL) of this species look close to Euphalerus vermiculosus . Bliven collected specimens from Sequoia sempervirens , but this is unlikely to be the host.
