Eremonidia mirifica
James S. Miller and Andrew V. Z. BrowerCharacteristics
Although this moth is superficially reminiscent of a lithosiine arctiid, its thoracic tympanal organs and wing venation clearly place it in Dioptini. Only one other dioptine, Caribojosia young, is known to occur in the Antilles.References
