Monopis Laevigella
''Monopis laevigella'', the skin moth, is a species of tineoid moth. It belongs to the fungus moth family (Tineidae), and therein to the nominate subfamily Tineinae. It is (under its junior synonym ''Tinea rusticella'') the type species of the genus '' Monopis'' and its junior objective synonym ''Hyalospila''. As with the common clothes moth (''Tineola bisselliella''), earlier authors frequently misapplied the name '' Tinea vestianella'' to the present species. It is not uncommon all across western Palearctic as well as in North America. It has not been recorded in Slovenia yet, but given that it occurs in all neighboring countries, it probably has simply been overlooked. Its absence from some Mediterranean islands may be genuine however. Description and ecology The adults of this small moth have a wingspan of 13–20 mm. On the wing around May to September (depending on the location), they are nocturnal and come out at dusk. They have dark brown forewings with a whit ...
