originally applied to moths of the subfamily Hypeninae, on account of their exceptionally long labial palpi.\u00a0 The first mention I can find is that of Moses Harris, writing in the eighteenth century (1766) of a moth now classed as a hypenine, The Snout being a \u201cstandard name, as given and established by the worthy and ingenious Society of AURELIANS.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Hypenines were also called snouts in the standard nineteenth century (Kirby) and the twentieth century (South) books.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Hypena californica<\/em> <\/strong>is quite variable, as can be seen by

2021, and I found that the last Lorquin\u2019s Admirals are usually gone by late August.\u00a0 In that period, five of the eight years had September sightings, the latest being 2014 September
