Stephens, 1852

Dichrorampha consortana is a moth belonging to the family Tortricidae. The species was first described by James Francis Stephens in 1852. [1]

It is native to Europe and across the Palearctic. [2] The wingspan is 9–12 mm. The species of the genus Dichrorampha are often difficult to distinguish from each other on external appearance, genitalic preparations are needed to determine the species with certainty. This species is smaller and darker than the related species. The forewings seem a little "unclean" grey-brown and do not have silvery lines at the front edge, however, some small white spots. The species lacks small black spots along the outer edge of the forewing.

The larvae live not in the roots, as do most Dichrorampha but in the upper part of the stem and inside the flower heads. The adults fly in June–July.

Sabatinca doroxena is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae. It is endemic to the North Island of New Zealand. This small moth has a colourful forewing pattern with stripes and dots evident. It has been hypothesised that the forewing pattern is intended to resemble a jumping spider in order to allow the adult moth to escape predation. Adults of this species are on the wing from the beginning of September until mid January. It prefers damp but sunny habitat in deep forest, at the forest edge or in open shrubland. Larvae feed on foliose liverwort species including on Heteroscyphus normalis. Adults of this species have been located at the blossoms of flowering Cordyline and Ranunculus species.
