Alsodryas Deltochlora
''Alsodryas deltochlora'' is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Brazil. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan of ... is about 16 mm. The forewings are dull green with a small black spot on the base of the costa and small tufts above and below the middle at one-fifth, and one on the costa rather beyond these. There is a triangular black blotch on the middle of the costa, not reaching half across wing. There are small tufts representing the stigmata, the plical somewhat before the first discal, which adjoins the apex of the costal blotch, small linear black dots beneath the plical and second discal. There is an irregular line of faint whitish irroration from three-fourths of the costa to the d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alsodryas Lactaria
''Alsodryas lactaria'' is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan of ... is 10–12 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish, more or less sprinkled or faintly clouded with pale ochreous and with a black dot on the base of the costa and a small spot at one-fifth, the costal edge black between these. There is also a black subbasal dot near the costa and a slight suffused blackish wedge-shaped mark on the costa before the middle, as well as a larger one beyond the middle. A rather large transverse tuft of blackish-grey scales is found in the disc slightly before the middle, and one somewhat smaller at two-thirds. There are blackish-grey spots on the tornu ...

Alsodryas Prasinoptila
''Alsodryas prasinoptila'' is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Brazil. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan of ... is about 15 mm. The forewings are green, with the tips of the scales whitish. There are large subcostal and subdorsal tufts at one-fourth and smaller tufts mixed dark grey representing the stigmata, the plical hardly before the first discal. There is a paler shade from three-fourths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, very obtusely angulated in the middle, the upper half slightly sinuate, some dark grey irroration beyond the angle. There are also cloudy blackish-grey marginal dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are dark fuscous.

Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995. The Lepidoptera: Form, function and diversity. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press; 404 p. Although the rules for distinguishing moths from butterflies are not well est ...

Gelechiidae
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. By the late 20th century, over 900 genera with altogether more than 4,500 species were placed here, with about 650 genera known from North America alone. While these figures are certainly outdated, due to the many revisions to superfamily Gelechioidea and new descriptions of twirler moths, they still serve to show the enormous biodiversity contained in this ...
