Name
Argyrotaenia kimballi Obraztsov, 1961 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Argyrotaenia kimballi Obraztsov, 1961: 13
Diagnosis
Argyrotaenia kimballi is most similar to A. amatana, which also occurs in The Bahamas. It can be separated from the latter by its conspicuously bicolored median fascia, which is uniformly colored in A. amatana.

Description
See Austin et al. 2019[1].
Distribution
Argyrotaenia kimballi is known in the USA from east Texas to Florida, north to Tennessee and Maryland. In the Caribbean, it has only been recorded from The Bahamas (Austin et al. 2019[1]).
Ecology
Argyrotaenia kimballi is reported to be a minor pest on Citrus in Florida (Bullock et al. 1997[2]). Its food preference in the Caribbean is unknown, but it is likely a generalist.
