Parallactis is a genus of moth in the family Autostichidae. [1]
Edward Meyrick was an English schoolmaster and amateur entomologist. He was an expert on microlepidoptera and some consider him one of the founders of modern microlepidoptera systematics.
Pyraustinae is a large subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. It currently includes about 1,280 species Most of them tropical but some found in temperate regions including both North America and Europe.
The Lecithoceridae, or long-horned moths, are a family of small moths described by Simon Le Marchand in 1947. Although lecithocerids are found throughout the world, the great majority are found in the Indomalayan realm and the southern part of the Palaearctic realm.
The Archipini are a tribe of tortrix moths. Since many genera of these are not yet assigned to tribes, the genus list presented here is provisional.
Crambinae is a large subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. It currently includes over 1,800 species worldwide. The larvae are root feeders or stem borers, mostly on grasses. A few species are pests of sod grasses, maize, sugar cane, rice, and other Poaceae. The monophyly of this group is supported by the structure of the tympanal organs and the phallus attached medially to the juxta, as well as genetic analyses.
Dichomeris is a genus of moths in the family Gelechiidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1818.
Torodora is a genus of moths in the family Lecithoceridae. The genus was erected by Edward Meyrick in 1894.
The Autostichinae are a subfamily of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Like their relatives therein, their exact relationships are not yet very well resolved. The present lineage was often included in the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae), but alternatively it is united with the Symmocidae sensu stricto to form an expanded family Autostichidae.
Antaeotricha is a genus of moths. It is the largest genus in the subfamily Stenomatinae, numbering over 400 species in the Western Hemisphere.
Xyloryctidae is a family of moths contained within the superfamily Gelechioidea described by Edward Meyrick in 1890. Most genera are found in the Indo-Australian region. While many of these moths are tiny, some members of the family grow to a wingspan of up to 66 mm, making them giants among the micromoths.
Gelechiinae is a subfamily of moths in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Henry Tibbats Stainton in 1854.
Anacampsinae is a subfamily of moths in the family Gelechiidae.
Parallactis zorophanes is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Anthonie Johannes Theodorus Janse in 1954. It is found in South Africa.
Parallactis mitigata is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Malawi.
Parallactis plaesiodes is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1920. It is found in Kenya, Mozambique and South Africa.
Torodora parallactis is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1894. It is found in Burma.
