Adult Acrolophus mycetophagus: males: a-e, female: f. The acrolophid Acrolophus mycetophagus Davis (Fig. 1) occurs in Louisiana, though all of my records are for the southeast portion of the state (Fig. 3). Davis (1990) described mycetophagus (type locality: Clinch County, Georgia) from a series of about 93 specimens from Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Among the type series, there were seven specimens from Louisiana, five from East baton Rouge Parish and two supplied by this author from St. John the Baptist Parish. Davis remarked that mycetophagus showed no affinities to any other member of the and was the first Acrolophus to be 5 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

0 number of adults Fig. 2. Adult Acrolophus mycetophagus captured in Louisiana. n = 69 reared from fungus. Davis described mycetophagus as "a moderately small moth with dull white forewings heavily marked with dark fuscous over distal half and uniformly dark fuscous hindwings", with the length of forewing for males to be 5-8 mm and females 8-11 mm. Davis stated mycetophagus was possibly bivoltine with most known adults captured between mid February and mid June and a second, much smaller amount in August and September. My data confirms this (Fig. 2). I have taken this in six southeastern parishes (Fig. 3). I thank Don Davis and Peter Jump for their helpful assistance.
