Section 3. Macromoths

Drepanoidea

53. Drepanidae – lutestrings and hooktips

Medium-sized (30–45 mm wingspan) nocturnal moths. Th e group contains two superficially dissimilar subfamilies, united by the presence of a tympanum between abdominal tergite 1 and sternum 2. The Thyatirinae was long considered to be a separate family, are more similar in overall form to noctuids as adults and larvae. Members of the subfamily Drepaninae superficially resemble geometrids, being broad winged with slender bodies and resting with the wings held to the side of the body. Some species, including members of Drepana, have distinct, falcate forewing tips; hence the common name “hooktips.” Larvae of both groups feed primarily on the leaves of deciduous trees and shrubs. Rich, mixedwood boreal forest is home to most of the species listed here. There are approximately 650 species of drepanids worldwide (Minet and Scoble 1999), with the center of diversity in tropical Asia. Twenty-one species occur in North America; nine of these have been recorded in AB. Th ere are no recent taxonomic treatments encompassing the North American drepanid fauna, with Forbes (1923) still being the most complete work. Clarke and Benjamin (1938) reviewed the genus Ceranemota. Werny (1966) examined the tribal classification of the Thyatirinae.
