Source-derived summary

Globia laeta, the red sedge borer, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Herbert Knowles Morrison in 1875. It is found in North America, including Ohio, Illinois, New Jersey and Ontario.

The wingspan is about 28 mm. Adults are on wing from July to September depending on the location.

The larvae bore the stems of Sparganium species.

This species was formerly in the genus Capsula, but Capsula was renamed Globia because of a naming conflict with a mollusk.

Editorial reviewUseful for establishing the present vocabulary of the subject while preserving a route back to the evidence on which that vocabulary rests. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1875—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Globia, laeta and species.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Globia laeta” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Globia, laeta and species provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 27, 2021. The linked authority identifier is Q21266727. The first chronological checks are 1875.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
