Abstract

The adult of a widespread but previously undescribed species of Zanclognatha Lederer is described from eastern North America. Images of the mature larva and life history data for Zanclognatha dentate sp. n. are included, along with a preliminary key to the larvae of ten eastern North American Zanclognatha species.
