Psaroxantha calligenes is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It is found in Australia, including Tasmania. [1] [2] [3]
Oecophoridae is a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. The phylogeny and systematics of gelechoid moths are still not fully resolved, and the circumscription of the Oecophoridae is strongly affected by this.
The Ethmiinae are a subfamily of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea sometimes included in the Elachistidae or the Oecophoridae, but mostly in the Depressariidae as a subfamily Ethmiinae.
Ptyoptila is a monotypic moth genus of the family Oecophoridae described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1946. Its only species, Ptyoptila matutinella, was described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria.
Depressaria is a moth genus of the superfamily Gelechioidea. It is the type genus of subfamily Depressariinae, which is often – particularly in older treatments – considered a distinct family Depressariidae or included in the Elachistidae, but actually seems to belong in the Oecophoridae.
The Symmocinae are a subfamily of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. These small moths are found mainly in the Palearctic and Africa.
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.
Izatha copiosella is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand, where it is found on the south-eastern parts of the North Island and throughout the South Island except the West Coast. Larvae are found in dead wood and are likely to use kōwhai species as hosts. The adults are night fliers and are attracted to light. They are on the wing in January and February.
Izatha heroica is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand, where it is widespread in the west part of the South Island. It has been collected in southern beech forests but larvae have been reared on dead kanuka or manuka bushes.
Izatha huttonii is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand, where it is known from the Wellington district of the North Island, the South Island, and Stewart Island. Although similar in appearance to related species I. huttonii can be distinguished as it has a distinctive "M" shaped mark on its forewings. The larvae feed on the dead wood of makomako and karamu. Adult moths have been collected from October to March.
Izatha manubriata is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand, where it is known from the southern South Island only.
Crassa unitella is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It is known from most of Europe.
Idioglossa is a genus of moths of the family Batrachedridae.
Autosticha is a genus of gelechioid moths. It belongs to the subfamily Autostichinae, which is either placed in the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae), or in an expanded Autostichidae. It is the type genus of its subfamily. Originally, this genus was named Automola, but this name properly refers to a fly genus in family Richardiidae.
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.
Promalactis is a genus of moths of the family Oecophoridae.
Garrha alma is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria.
Garrha amata is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.
Garrha mitescens is a moth in the family Oecophoridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland and the Northern Territory.
Idioglossa metallochrysa is a very small species of golden-metallic coloured moth of the family Batrachedridae living in a subtropical highland climate, at least in Australia, and of which the caterpillars feed on the plant Cheilocostus speciosus, at least in Indonesia.
