Agrioceros platycypha is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1928. [1] It is found in the Philippines. [2]
The wingspan is about 35 mm. The forewings are orange yellow with seven dark purple-fuscous dots: two in the cell at one-fourth and the middle of the wing, two transversely placed beyond the cell, two obliquely placed towards the apex and one on the tornus. The hindwings are light yellow. [3]
Urodidae, whose species are commonly known as false burnet moths, is a family of moths in the lepidopteran order. It is the type genus in the superfamily, Urodoidea, with three genera, one of which, Wockia, occurs in Europe.
Glaucocharis chrysochyta is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1882. It is endemic to New Zealand and is found throughout the country. It inhabits native forest. Larvae appear to feed on moss and likely pupate there. Adult moths are on the wing from November to March. They fly at night and are attracted to light.
Pasiphila charybdis is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. It is endemic to New Zealand.
Glaucocharis auriscriptella, also known as the yellow silverling, is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was first described by Francis Walker in 1864 and is endemic to New Zealand. This species can be found in the North, South, Stewart and Great Barrier Islands. The preferred habitat of this moth is lowland and subalpine native forest as well as wetlands. The larvae feed on moss. The adult moth is day flying and is on the wing from November to February. It can be observed in colonies and can be attracted to light at night. This species likely has only one generation per year.
Glaucocharis lepidella is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1866. It is endemic to New Zealand and is found in both the North and South Island. The species inhabits lowland to subalpine native forest. Larvae may feed on mosses. Adults are on the wing from November to February and are attracted to light.
Thambotricha is a monotypic genus of moths in the family Epermeniidae. Its sole known species, Thambotricha vates, is also known by the vernacular name wonder-haired prophet. It is endemic to New Zealand. This species is classified as "At Risk, Naturally Uncommon" by the Department of Conservation.
Dichomeris polyaema is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1923. It is found in Sri Lanka.
Dichomeris thrypsandra is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1923. It is found in Ecuador.
Dichomeris sandycitis is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1907. It is found in China and India.
Anthistarcha binocularis is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1929. It is found in Brazil (Bahia).
Hypatima meliptila is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1926. It is found in Papua New Guinea, where it has been recorded from New Ireland.
Gonionota oriphanta is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1928. It is found in Colombia.
Arctesthes catapyrrha is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is endemic to New Zealand.
Austramathes purpurea is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and can be found throughout the North and South Islands but has yet to be recorded at Stewart Island. It inhabits native forest. This species might possibly be confused with A. pessota, however this latter species does not have the purple hue to the forewings. The larvae of A. purpurea feed primarily on māhoe but have been recorded as feeding on, and have been reared on, narrow-leaved māhoe. The larvae pupate in a silken cocoon on moss covered ground. Adults can be found on the wing during the months of March to January but mainly occur during New Zealand's late autumn, winter, and spring. Light trapping may not be the most efficient technique for collecting this species.
Asaphodes limonodes is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and is found in both the North and South Islands. This species inhabits damp native forest. Adults are on the wing from November until March.
Notoreas mechanitis is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. It is endemic to New Zealand.
Orthoclydon chlorias is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. It is endemic to New Zealand.
Tingena chloritis is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been found in the South Island. Larvae of this species feed on leaf litter. The adults of this species are light flyers and are attracted to light.
Tingena macarella is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and is found on both the North and South Islands. Adults of this species are on the wing from November until February. This species is attracted to light and the larvae are litter feeders.
Tingena oporaea is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed in Canterbury. The perferred habitat of this species is native beech forest at altitudes of 2500 ft however it has also been collected in tussock grassland. The larvae of this species are leaf litter feeders and the adults are on the wing in January and February.
