Filatima xanthuris is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia, Washington and Oregon. [1] [2]

The wingspan is 20–24 mm. The forewings are fuscous, obscurely irrorated darker, sometimes with a short dark fuscous streak on the fold towards the base in females. The stigmata are cloudy, dark fuscous, the plical obliquely before the first discal, the second discal rather large, subtriangular or elongate, but all these in males obscure and sometimes hardly perceptible, in females more distinct. The apical area is often sprinkled whitish, with a small indistinct whitish spot on the costa at four-fifths and a faint angulated line sometimes perceptible. The hindwings are light bluish-grey. [3]

The larvae feed on Thermopsis pinetorum , Lupinus , Robinia and Vicia species. [4]

<i>Ichneutica paracausta</i> Species of moth

Ichneutica paracausta is a moth of the family Noctuidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand. It is found locally in the central North Island, is widespread in the South Island and can also be found in Stewart Island. I. paracausta is variable in colour, but as it has a distinctive black streak on its forewing as well as a wing pattern that is characteristic, I. paracausta is unlikely to be confused with other species. It is present on the North Island volcanic plateau as well as Little Bush Reserve in Hawkes Bay in the North Island as well as in tussock grassland, alpine and subalpine shrubland and in alpine forest. Larvae have been recorded as feeding on grasses, a pupa has been found in a cocoon under the bark of a tree and adult moths are on the wing from October to January.
