Over a century after original discovery, D. A. Young named Erasmoneura as a subgenus of Erythroneura. The species in question was then known as Erythroneura Erasmoneura vulnerata. It was not until 2006 that Erasmoneura was elevated to generic status, allowing the previously known Erythroneura vulnerata to be known as Erasmoneura vulnerata. Additionally, it was discovered that Erythroneura gradata was simply a seasonal color variation of E. vulnerata.

Adults have a body size of roughly 2.7-3.2mm long and their body has a yellow stripe that longitudinally divides it. A seasonal color dimorphism occurs, with the summer population possessing... Wikipedia →
