Schiffermuellerina grandis is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It is found in Europe.
The wingspan is about 15 mm. The moth flies from May to June depending on the location. [1]
The larvae feed on bark and decayed wood.
Teak is a tropical hardwood tree species in the family Lamiaceae. It is a large, deciduous tree that occurs in mixed hardwood forests. Tectona grandis has small, fragrant white flowers arranged in dense clusters (panicles) at the end of the branches. These flowers contain both types of reproductive organs. The large, papery leaves of teak trees are often hairy on the lower surface. Teak wood has a leather-like smell when it is freshly milled and is particularly valued for its durability and water resistance. The wood is used for boat building, exterior construction, veneer, furniture, carving, turnings, and other small wood projects.
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.
Nepticulidae is a family of very small moths with a worldwide distribution. They are characterised by eyecaps over the eyes. These pigmy moths or midget moths, as they are commonly known, include the smallest of all living moths, with a wingspan that can be as little as 3 mm in the case of the European pigmy sorrel moth, but more usually 3.5–10 mm. The wings of adult moths are narrow and lanceolate, sometimes with metallic markings, and with the venation very simplified compared to most other moths.
Incurvariidae is a family of small primitive monotrysian moths in the order Lepidoptera. There are twelve genera recognised. Many species are leaf miners and much is known of their host plants, excluding Paraclemensia acerifoliella. The most familiar species in Europe are perhaps Incurvaria masculella and Phylloporia bistrigella. The narrow wings are held tightly along the body at rest and some species have very long antennae.
Yponomeutinae is a subfamily of "micromoths" in the lepidopteran family Yponomeutidae. As their scientific name implies, this is the subfamily containing the type genus of the ermine moths, Yponomeuta. The subfamily has worldwide distribution.
Eupoecilia ambiguella, the vine moth, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Europe, China, India, Japan, Korea, Mongolia and the Russian Far East.
Celypha rufana, common name lakes marble, is a small moth species of the family Tortricidae, long known under the junior synonym C. rosaceana.
Elachista argentella is a moth of the family Elachistidae found in all of Europe, except the Balkan Peninsula.
Carcina quercana is a species of moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Europe. It has been introduced recently in North America, British Columbia and western Washington. It is occasionally known by several common names including oak lantern, long-horned flat-body, and oak-skeletonizer moth.
Denisia similella is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It is found in Europe.
Bisigna procerella is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It is found in Europe.
Borkhausenia fuscescens is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It is found in Europe.
Pleurota bicostella is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It is found in the Palearctic realm.
Hypercallia citrinalis is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Europe, Asia Minor, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Mongolia and southern Siberia.
Amphisbatis is a monotypic genus of moths belonging to the family Oecophoridae. The only species is Amphisbatis incongruella. It is found in Europe.
Pseudatemelia josephinae is a moth of the family Oecophoridae. It is found in Europe.
Micropterix aruncella is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae, which is distributed throughout Europe. The imago was first described by Giovanni Antonio Scopoli in 1763. This species is one of the best known members of the family, being found in a wide range of habitats from sea level to over 2,000 metres (6,600 ft); the only habitat not favoured by this species is dense woodland.
Eriocrania salopiella is a moth of the family Eriocraniidae and is found in Europe. It was described by the English entomologist, Henry Tibbats Stainton in 1854. The larvae mine the leaves of birch.
Schiffermuelleria is a genus of gelechioid moths. It is placed in the subfamily Oecophorinae of family Oecophoridae. The genus is treated as monotypic, with the single species Schiffermuelleria schaefferella placed here. As such, its distinctness from the closely related genus Borkhausenia – where S. schaefferella was often placed in the past – is open to debate.
Amblyptilia punctidactyla, also known as the Brindled Plume, is a moth of the family Pterophoridae found across the Palearctic. The species was first described by the English entomologist, Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1811.
