 tempestiva (Holmgren). Europe. Introduced in N. S. in 1955, 1957, 1961, and 1962 without 

 becoming established. Host: Operophtera brumata (L.). The host cited was the target 

 species for the introduction in N. S.; I have seen tempestiva specimens which were 

 reared from other geometrid hosts, but none of the latter occur in North America. This 

 species has frequently been misidentified as crassiuscula (Gravenhorst), the name 

 under which the introductions in N. S. have been reported (e.g. McGugan and Coppel, 

 1962; Embree, 1971). Voucher material I have seen would appear to indicate that 

 releases of tempestiva in N. S. were accompanied by releases of about equal numbers of 

 an undescribed species of Phobocampe which I also know as a parasite of Lymantria 

 dispar (L.) and which has been misidentified as P. disparis (Viereck) in Japan (see 

 unicincta [Gravenhorst]).
