Diploschizia regia is a species of sedge moth in the genus Diploschizia . It was described by John B. Heppner in 1981. It is found in Florida.
The length of the forewings is 2.8 mm. Adults have been recorded in January. [2]
Douglasiidae is a small Lepidopteran family including around 28 species of micromoth whose adults are collectively called Douglas moths. The largest genus in the family is Tinagma. They are primarily found in the Palearctic and Nearctic realms. The adults have a 6 to 15 mm wingspan, with a reduced hindwing venation and long fringes. The larvae are leaf miners or borers, primarily in stems and petioles, belonging to Boraginaceae, Labiatae, and Rosaceae.
Choreutidae, or metalmark moths, are a family of insects in the lepidopteran order whose relationships have been long disputed. It was placed previously in the superfamily Yponomeutoidea in family Glyphipterigidae and in superfamily Sesioidea. It is now considered to represent its own superfamily. The relationship of the family to the other lineages in the group "Apoditrysia" need a new assessment, especially with new molecular data.
Whalleyana is an enigmatic genus of moths in the lepidopteran group Obtectomera, endemic to Madagascar. The genus contains two species, whose biology are unknown. The genus had been placed in the picture-winged leaf moths, (Thyrididae), but then was placed in its own family, and later elevated to its own superfamily ; see also Fänger (2004). The genus was named after Paul E. S. Whalley, a British entomologist. Genomic studies have found them to be most closely related to Callidulidae, and it is suggested that they should be placed in Calliduloidea.
A family of primitive monotrysian moths in the order Lepidoptera, Heliozelidae are small, metallic day-flying moths with shiny smooth heads. In Europe the small adult moths are seldom noticed as they fly quite early in the spring. The larvae are leaf miners and the vacated leaf mines are distinctive because the larva leaves a large hole at the end.
Holochroa is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Holochroa dissociarius, is found in North America. The species was described by George Duryea Hulst in 1887 and he described the genus nine years later in 1896.
Plataea is a genus of geometrid moths in the family Geometridae. There are about 11 described species in Plataea.
Abablemma brimleyana, or Brimley's algibelle, is a species of moth in the family Erebidae. It was originally described as Phobolosia brimleyana by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1914. The genus is found in the United States from New Jersey south to Florida and Texas.
