Eccopisa is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1848.
The genus Eccopisa is monotypic. It contains only the following species:
The species name effractella derives from Latin effractus, meaning “broken out”. [2]
This species is present in most of Europe, including British Islands and except Fennoscandia, Ireland and Estonia. The distribution extends from west Portugal, across Central, Southern and Eastern Russia. In the south the area extends to Italy and Greece. [3] These moths mainly occur in cultivated areas of gardens and parks. [4]
Eccopisa effractella can reach a wingspan of 14–16.5 mm (0.55–0.65 in). [5] This species shows brown forewings, black or dark brown eyes and yellowish labial palps. The hind wings are pale brown. In the male, there is a cutout in half of the front edge of the hind wing. [2]
Adults fly from mid May to October, [6] with one to two generations, depending on the location. [7] These moths are nocturnal. [8] The phytophagous larvae live in groups of 7/8 specimens in spun leaves of various deciduous trees. [2] Main host plants include Malus sylvestris , Euonymus europaeus , Prunus padus , Salix and Corylus . [7] [9] They feed also on big-leaved lupine ( Lupinus polyphyllus ) and [8] on Yponomeuta species. Usually they overwinters as a larva in a white cocoon and pupation occurs in the next spring. [7] However pupae were found sporadically in winter in oak and willow galls. [2]
Catocala coniuncta is a circum-Mediterranean species of moth whose range extends across southern Europe, North Africa and extending to the Middle East. Its species name has for a long time been misspelled "conjuncta"; this was only corrected in 2010.
Hipparchia fagi, the woodland grayling, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.
Sitochroa verticalis, common name lesser pearl, is a species of moth of the family Crambidae.
Etiella behrii is a species of moth of the family Pyralidae, occurring sporadically but when present considered a serious pest of agricultural crops throughout parts of Australia.

Batrachedra arenosella, the armoured scale eating caterpillar or the coconut moth, is a species of moth of the family Batrachedridae. It was first described by Francis Walker using specimens collected in Auckland, New Zealand. It has been hypothesised that the New Zealand moth may contain two distinct species. As well as the moth species in New Zealand, this name has been applied, perhaps incorrectly, to moths found in India, Indonesia, the Malay Peninsula, and Réunion, as well as in Australia, from the Northern Territory and northern Queensland to New South Wales and South Australia.
