Distribution
fourni par University of Alberta Museums
East-central Alberta east to Nova Scotia, south to FL (McGuffin 1972). Due to the presence of two species under the name of bicolorata, the distribution limits are unclear. Although not reported for Alberta by Bowman (1951), there are records from the Athbasca, Redwater, Lloydminster and Cold Lake regions (McGuffin 1972, Prentice 1963).

Distribution
fourni par University of Alberta Museums
Due to confusion with anataria in the literature, it is impossible to define the exact range for sp. nr. anataria. Macaria anataria occurs west only to MB (C. Schmidt, pers. comm.) and Alberta material thus belongs to sp. nr. anataria.

General Description
fourni par University of Alberta Museums
A species with primarily grey forewings, sometimes with a grey-brown area distal to the PM line; four dark, evenly spaced, prominent costal wedges, and a black discal spot. Hindwing slightly paler grey, also with a discal spot and a PM line. Males with pectinate antennae, females have slightly paler wings (but not significantly reduced in size) and filiform antennae. Macaria loricaria and exauspicata are similar; loricaria males have much larger antennal pectinations giving a more feathery appearance, and females have vestigial wings. Macaria exauspicata has a wider forewing and lacks the more pronounced concavity of the forewing apex in sp. nr. anataria (giving the latter a more notched appearance to the forewing). Species nr. anataria also has darker grey hindwings compared to exauspicata.

General Description
fourni par University of Alberta Museums
"Wings medium grey with faint, darker antemedian (AM) and (postmedian) PM lines, three to four bold black costal forewing wedges. The outer third of the wings are brownish, giving this species its name, and distinguishing it from other Alberta Macaria.
According to geometrid specialist Klaus Bolte (Handfield 1999), the Canadian populations are specifically distinct from nominate bicolorata (TL: Virginia), so until a name is available for our species, it should be referred to as "near bicolorata".

Life Cycle
fourni par University of Alberta Museums
Published information for Macaria anataria does not differentiate between anataria and sp. near anatraia. The life histrory is probably very similar to that of M. anataria. There is a single annual brood, with adults in Alberta the last half of July. Adults come to light.

Trophic Strategy
fourni par University of Alberta Museums
All but 4 of the many hostplant records for anataria in Prentice (1963) are from western Canada, and thus refer to sp. nr. anataria and not anartaria. Larval hosts listed are predominantly birches (Betula spp.), especially dwarf birch (B. glandulosa). Also on cinquefoil (Potentilla fruticosa), alder (Alnus sp.) and a few collections on aspen (Populus tremuloides) and willow (Salix sp.).

Larvae feed on pines, preferring Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana), the likely host in Alberta.

Vein 3 from angle of cell. veins 7, 8 and 9 stalked from upper angle, vein 10 absent and vein 11 free. Hindwings with the strongly angled outer margin at vein 4 and slightly at vein 6. Vein 3 from angle of cell.[2]

Buemålere
(

)
fourni par wikipedia NO
Buemålere (Macaria spp.) er en slekt av sommerfugler som tilhører familien egentlige målere (Geometridae). De er en nordlig gruppe som omfatter åtte arter som forekommer i Norge. Buemålerne er middelsstore, mer eller mindre lysegrå målere som kan kjennes på at forvingens fremkant har fire mørke flekker, der den ytterste er mye større enn de tre innerste. Fra hver flekk går det ut et mer eller mindre tydelig tverrbånd. Noen arter har forvingens ytterkant tydelig innbuktet bak spissen, og noen har et markert, brunrødt tverrbånd langs forvingens ytterkant. Hos enkelte arter er hunnene kortvingede og kan ikke fly. Buemålernes larver lever på busker, løvtrær eller bartrær. Det finnes både dag- og nattflygende arter. Disse artene ble tidligere regnet til slekten Semiothisa, noen arter har også blitt ført til en egen slekt, Itame.
