Zeiraphera sp. Group D
DSCF1846.JPG Group D
Wingspan ~16mm
F#357
RWWA-3574 BOLD DNA: specimen is likely to be one of the following between 98-100%: Zeiraphera improbana, Zeiraphera sp., Zeiraphera hesperiana, Zeiraphera fortunana, Zeiraphera griseana, Zeiraphera unfortunana and Zeiraphera diniana.
The highest DNA matches are with two specimens of Zeiraphera improbana (UBC-2007-0190 and 0193) from British Columbia. These are the only two specimens of Z. improbana with matches over those of Zeiraphera griseana in this group of Zeiraphera from here. This will require additional study.

This matching to the numerous above species I think indicates the polymorphic nature of the group Zeiraphera griseana.
