Comment: The twilight moth is also known from six caves in Nevada. The species occupies entrances to deep caves in a 
varied geographic area from nearly sea level to 3000 m elevation, both in deserts and humid forests, and in all seasons (Gra¬ 
ham, 1962d). Two other Triphosa species are known to inhabit caves in Great Britain, Europe, southwest Asia, and Japan 
(Graham, 1968b). Suggett (1982) observed a woodrat preying on this moth in one Marble Mountains cave and reported dif¬ 
ferent roosting behavior as compared to that reported by Graham for the low elevation Santa Cruz caves.

species hibernate in the caves.
