Triprocris lustrans
Triprocris lustrans is a species of forester moth in the family Zygaenidae, described by William Beutenmüller in 1894. It belongs to the subfamily Procridinae, a group of diurnal moths often characterized by metallic coloration and aposematic warning patterns associated with chemical defenses. The genus Triprocris comprises North American species, and T. lustrans represents one of the less documented members of this group. Like other zygaenids, it is presumed to be chemically defended, though specific studies on this species are limited.
