Ochsenheimeria urella is a moth of the family Ypsolophidae. It is found in large parts of Europe, except the Iberian Peninsula, most of the Balkan Peninsula, Ukraine and Lithuania. [1]

The wingspan is 9–12 mm. [2] Antennae in male hardly, in female rather strongly thickened with rough scales to above middle. Forewings narrower than in Ochsenheimeria taurella , in male rather dark fuscous, in female greyish-ochreous more or less mixed with fuscous. Hindwings are brassy-purplish-fuscous, thinly scaled towards base. [3]

Adults are on wing in July and August. [4]

The larvae feed on Agropyron , Bromus , Hordeum vulgare , Melica , Secale cereale and Triticum aestivum . They possibly mine the leaves of their host plant for a few days. Later, they bore in the stems. [5] Larvae can be found from April to May.

Batrachedra agaura is a species of moth in the family Batrachedridae. It is endemic to New Zealand. This species is distributed throughout the country. The species inhabits native forests, especially beech and kanuka forests or manuka scrubland. The larvae of this species are associated with sooty mold and sooty beech scale. It has been hypothesized that the larvae feed on sooty beech scale. However, they may also feed on the sooty mold itself. The adult female is lighter in appearance than the male, and the species shows considerable variation in patterns on the forewing. Adults are on the wing from October to February. They are nocturnal and occasionally attracted to light.

<i>Coscinoptycha improbana</i> Species of moth

Coscinoptycha improbana, the Australian guava moth, is a moth of the family Carposinidae and only member of the genus Coscinoptycha. This species is native to Australia but is invasive to New Zealand since 1999 and New Caledonia since 2012. The larvae of this species have been recorded as feeding on a wide variety of fruits and nuts including agricultural crops such as citrus, plums, pears, peaches, feijoa and guava. As such this species is regarded as an agricultural pest. However using a pheromone dispenser armed with the synthesised sex pheromone of the asian peach moth can confuse C. improbana males and disrupt the breeding of this pest species.
