Triaxomera fulvimitrella, the four-spotted clothes moth, is a moth of the family Tineidae. It is found in most of Europe, except Ireland, the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, Slovenia and most of the Balkan Peninsula. [2] The habitat consists of woodlands.

The wingspan is 15–22 mm. Adults are on wing from May to July.

The larvae feed in dead wood or on bracket fungi (including Inonotus radiatus and Piptoporus betulinus ), [3] especially those growing on Fagus and Quercus species. Larvae can be found from September onwards during the winter months. [4]

Tineidae is a family of moths in the order Lepidoptera described by Pierre André Latreille in 1810. Collectively, they are known as fungus moths or tineid moths. The family contains considerably more than 3,000 species in more than 300 genera. Most of the tineid moths are small or medium-sized, with wings held roofwise over the body when at rest. They are particularly common in the Palaearctic, but many occur elsewhere, and some are found very widely as introduced species.

Triaxomera parasitella is a species of tineoid moth. It belongs to the fungus moth family (Tineidae), and therein to the subfamily Nemapogoninae. It is widespread and common in much of western Eurasia, but seems to be absent from some more outlying regions, such as Portugal and the eastern Baltic, Ireland and Iceland. It has also not been recorded from Slovenia but given that it is found in neighboring countries, it may well occur there unnoticed. Recently, the species was recorded from British Columbia. Generally, it is a moth of warm temperate regions, e.g. in Great Britain it is only a rare and scarce species from the English Midlands northwards.
