Judolia montivagans montivagans (Couper, 1864) View in CoL
This species is widespread throughout boreal North America, and adults have been collected on flowers of plants in 13 genera (Linsley and Chemsak 1976). Adults were collected in northern Idaho, Boundary Co., 13 mi. W Naples, Ruby Pass, 9-VII-1968, on Sambucus blooms, W. F. Barr, (3), 4.5 mi. W Copeland, 27-VII-1977, on flowers of Melilotus alba, A. R. Gittens , (4); Latah Co., Giant White Pine Campground, 20-VI-1988, on Ceanothus blooms, M. E. Rice, (1). These collections represent NEW FLOWER HOST RECORDS.
Leptalia macilenta (Mannerheim, 1853)
This species occurs along the Pacific coast from California, Oregon, Washington, and north to southwestern Alaska, and adults have been collected on flowers of Ceanothus , Ribes , Rosa , and Rubus (Linsley and Chemsak 1972) . A single specimen was collected in Idaho Co., 15 mi. W Lolo Pass, 16-VII-1966, D. S. Horning, Jr. and represents a NEW STATE RECORD for Idaho.
Leptura plagifera LeConte, 1873
The Rocky Mountains to British Columbia and the southern Sierra Nevada is the range given for this species by Linsley and Chemsak (1976). Heffern (1998) stated that Idaho was among the published records for this species. However , we are not aware of any specific literature records documenting this species from Idaho. Its presence in the state is confirmed by three adults collected in Adams Co., 8
mi. N New Meadows, 10-VII-1967, A. R. Gittens, (1); and Valley Co., Krassel, 2/ 3-VII-1957, on flower, M. M. Furniss, (2).
Linsley and Chemsak (1976) list eight genera of flowering plants upon which this species has been collected. An additional specimen was collected in northern Idaho, Boundary Co., 13 mi. W Naples, Ruby Pass , 9-VII-1968, on Sambucus blooms, W. F. Barr,(1). This collection represents a NEW FLOWER HOST RECORD .
Linsley and Chemsak (1972) give the range for this species as the Pacific Northwest , including Idaho, and the flight period as May and June. It is a very rarely collected species as evidenced by the single specimen in the WFBM. This adult was collected in Canyon Co., Parma, 4-IV-1932, H. P. Lanchester. This April collection date expands the known flight period by nearly a full month and begins earlier in the spring than previously reported .
