Phthorimaea interjuncta is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1931. It is found in Brazil. [1]
The Gelechiidae are a family of moths commonly referred to as twirler moths or gelechiid moths. They are the namesake family of the huge and little-studied superfamily Gelechioidea, and the family's taxonomy has been subject to considerable dispute. These are generally very small moths with narrow, fringed wings. The larvae of most species feed internally on various parts of their host plants, sometimes causing galls. Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga) is a host plant common to many species of the family, particularly of the genus Chionodes, which as a result is more diverse in North America than usual for Gelechioidea.
Urodidae or "false burnet moths" is a family of moths in the lepidopteran order. It is the type genus in the superfamily, Urodoidea, with three genera, one of which, Wockia, occurs in 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.
Dichomeris is a genus of moths in the family Gelechiidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1818.
Gelechia is a genus of moths in the family Gelechiidae. The type species is Gelechia rhombella.
Phthorimaea is a genus of moths in the family Gelechiidae. Species include the potato tuber moth, Phthorimaea operculella.
Scrobipalpa is a genus of moths in the family Gelechiidae. Euscrobipalpa has sometimes been treated as a distinct subgenus, or even as a full genus, but is generally no longer recognised as valid, following Ponomarenko & Park (2007).
Lecithocera is a genus of moths in the lecithocerid subfamily Lecithocerinae. The genus was erected by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1853.
The Depressariinae – sometimes spelled "Depressiinae" in error – are a subfamily of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Like their relatives therein, their exact relationships are not yet very well resolved. It has been considered part of family Elachistidae sensu lato or included in an expanded Oecophoridae. In modern classifications they are treated as the distinct gelechioid family Depressariidae.
Acrocercops is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae.
Trigonospila brevifacies is a species of true fly in the family Tachinidae native to eastern Australia. This species is also found in New Zealand. Like the vast majority of tachinid flies, T. brevifacies is a parasitoid of other insects, specifically late larval stages of a number of species of Lepidoptera. It is also known as the Australian Leaf-Roller Fly or Leafroller Fly.
Gelechiinae is a subfamily of moths in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Henry Tibbats Stainton in 1854.
Phthorimaea exacta is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1917. It is found in Guyana.
Phthorimaea involuta is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1917. It is found in Guyana.
Phthorimaea perfidiosa is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1917. It is found in Colombia and on the Galápagos Islands.
Phthorimaea euchthonia is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1939. It is found in Argentina.
Phthorimaea suavella is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Aristide Caradja in 1920. It is found in Algeria.
Stenoma is a genus of moths. The type species is Stenoma litura, which was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1839.
