Dysoptus pentalobus Davis, 2003 | |
Dysoptus pentalobus is a species of moth in the family Arrhenophanidae. It is known only from the type locality in the Atlantic coastal forests of south-eastern Brazil.
The length of the forewings is about 4.8 mm for males. [1] Adults are on wing in late January (based on one record). It was first described by Donald R. Davis in 2003. [1]
The specific name is derived from the Greek pente (five) and lobos (a rounded projection), in reference to the complex, five-lobed, saccular apex of the valva.
Tineoidea is the ditrysian superfamily of moths that includes clothes moths, bagworms and relatives. There are six families usually included within it, Eriocottidae, Arrhenophanidae, Lypusidae, Acrolophidae, Tineidae and Psychidae, whose relationships are currently uncertain.
Arrhenophaninae is a subfamily of moths in family Psychidae. It was once recognised as a family, but has been found deeply nested in Psychidae in phylogenetic studies.
The insect order Lepidoptera consists of moths, most of which are night-flying, and a derived group, mainly day-flying, called butterflies. Within Lepidoptera as a whole, the groups listed below before Glossata contain a few basal families accounting for less than 200 species; the bulk of Lepidoptera are in the Glossata. Similarly, within the Glossata, there are a few basal groups listed first, with the bulk of species in the Heteroneura. Basal groups within Heteroneura cannot be defined with as much confidence, as there are still some disputes concerning the proper relations among these groups. At the family level, however, most groups are well defined, and the families are commonly used by hobbyists and scientists alike.
