Delexocha is a monotypic moth genus in the family Oecophoridae erected by Ian Francis Bell Common in 1997. Its only species, Delexocha ochrocausta, was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1884. [1] It is found in Australian in Queensland, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria. [2]
Spilomelinae is a very species-rich subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. With 4,135 described species in 344 genera worldwide, it is the most speciose group among pyraloids.
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.
Metasia capnochroa is a species of moth of the family Crambidae described by Edward Meyrick in 1884. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania.
Eudonia aphrodes is a species of moth of the family Crambidae described by Edward Meyrick in 1884. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.
Eudonia is a large and widespread genus in the grass moth family (Crambidae), subfamily Scopariinae. There is no common name for the roughly 250 species placed here; new species are still being described regularly. Although the genus was proposed early in the 19th century, many of these moths were for a long time retained in Scoparia, the type genus of the subfamily and a close relative of Eudonia. A few small genera have been proposed for separation from Eudonia, but given the size of this group this is not particularly convincing; thus, all are retained here pending a comprehensive phylogenetic review.
Tetracona is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. The genus was described by Edward Meyrick in 1884 with Aediodes amathealisWalker, 1859 as type species.
Epicyme is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae described by Edward Meyrick in 1885. Its only species, Epicyme rubropunctaria, the red-spotted delicate, described by Edward Doubleday in 1843, is found in New Zealand, the Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania and Victoria.
Acridotarsa is a genus of moths belonging to the family Tineidae. The genus was described by Edward Meyrick in 1893.
The Oecophorinae are the nominate subfamily of moths in the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae). They are part of the insufficiently studied superfamily Gelechioidea, and like their relatives, the circumscription of this taxon is disputed.
Astrapometis is a monotypic snout moth genus described by Edward Meyrick in 1884. It contains the species Astrapometis saburalis described by Francis Walker in 1859. It is found in Australia.
Autosticha is a genus of gelechioid moths. It belongs to the subfamily Autostichinae, which is either placed in the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae), or in an expanded Autostichidae. It is the type genus of its subfamily. Originally, this genus was named Automola, but this name properly refers to a fly genus in family Richardiidae.
Xyloryctidae is a family of moths contained within the superfamily Gelechioidea described by Edward Meyrick in 1890. Most genera are found in the Indo-Australian region. While many of these moths are tiny, some members of the family grow to a wingspan of up to 66 mm, making them giants among the micromoths.
Chloroclystis catastreptes, the green and brown carpet, is a moth in the family Geometridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1891. It is found in Australia.
Cybalomiinae is a subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae. It was described by Hubert Marion in 1955.
Glycythyma chrysorycta is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1884. It is found in India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan and Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.
Nacoleia mesochlora is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1884. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland, the Northern Territory, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.
Mnesictena marmarina, also known as the brown nettle moth, is a snout moth in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1884. It is endemic to New Zealand. This species is similar in appearance to Mnesictena flavidalis but is distinguished by being larger in size and having a clear white spot on its forewings.
Heosphora is a genus of moths in the family Pyralidae. The genus was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1882. The type species is Anerastia psamathella Meyrick, 1879, designated as such by George Hampson in 1901. All Heosphora species are found in Australia.
Barea asbolaea, also known as the chequered bar and the Buryas Bridge moth, is a moth of the family Oecophoridae found in Australia. It was described by the English amateur entomologist Edward Meyrick in 1883. It is an adventive in Cornwall, where it has been recorded since 2004 at three sites.
