About Eulogia ochrifrontella Zeller, 1875

Eulogia is a monotypic (single-species) snout moth genus, first described by Carl Heinrich in 1956. The only species in this genus is Eulogia ochrifrontella, commonly called the broad-banded eulogia moth, which was originally described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1875. This moth is found across most of North America, with recorded locations including British Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Maine, Manitoba, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington. The wingspan of adult broad-banded eulogia moths ranges from 11 to 15 mm. Adult moths are active and on wing during the months of June and July. The larvae of this species feed on Carya illinoinensis, species within the Quercus and Malus genera, and possibly also feed on Amelanchier alnifolia.
