Coordinator notes: Eulithis diversilineata/gracilineata. From BugGuide:
Adults of diversilineata and gracilineata cannot be separated without rearing or dissection.*
* The forewing measures of the Greater and Lesser overlap slightly (Lesser 12-16.4 mm; Greater, 16.1-19 mm)(Sexton, Schmidt, unpubl. data). Small and large males of each species might thus be separated by size. However, females are quite a bit larger in both species, so most diversilineata would get misidentified as gracilineata (C. Schmidt).
