Status
More common in the mountainous western counties. Becomes increasingly rare as you head east. Records from the Eastern Shore are sparse. Will come to lights, and like other Haploa species is considered diurnal.
Description
LeConte's Haploa is one of four Haploa species with white hindwings. Of these four species, Leconte's Haploa has a dark line that runs from just below the forewing apex, diagonally and upwards towards the forewing margin. This line is diagnostic. Heavily marked individuals may resemble other Haploa species. All white forms are usually indistinguishable from other all white Haploa individuals.
Relationships
Like other Haploa species, larvae feed on a variety of woody and herbaceous plants.
