Cossoidea

35. Cossidae – carpenterworm moths

Medium-sized to large (25–70 mm wingspan) stout-bodied moths with mottled wings. Adults resemble sphinx moths in general body form and wing shape. Th e larvae are wood borers; a few species are pests of trees.

There are approximately 750 species of cossids worldwide. Forty-seven species are known from North America, three of which are reported in AB. Th is family has not been revised since Barnes and McDunnough (1911). Several species have been described since then, but the 1911 publication covers the known AB species. This family has also been treated in a number of more recent general texts (see “Resources for Lepidopterists” in Part 1, “Introduction and Background Information”).
