FIRST OCCURRENCE OF PERIZOMA ALCHEMILLATA (LEPIDOPTERA: GEOMETRIDAE) ON THE MAINLAND OF NORTH AMERICA
In 1958 I reported finding the European geometrid moth Perizoma alchemillata (L.) on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland. This yas based on seven specimens collected in 1954 in the general vicinity of St. John's, but in places several miles apart, suggesting that the species was already well e...

That was the first record of this species for North America. Morris and Bolte (1977) discussed its further spread in Newfoundland, summarized what was known about its food plants and distribution elsewhere, and gave illustrations of adults and genitalia.
