Batrachedra Albistrigella
''Batrachedra'' is the largest genus in the moth family Batrachedridae, with representatives all over the world. The early stages of most species are unknown. The genus name is derived from the Greek words ''batrachos'', 'frog', and ''edra'', 'seat', referring to the frog-like resting posture of the adult moths. As of 2018 at least some 114 species are known to belong to the genus. Distribution There are only three species found in Europe. There is an especially high amount of biodiversity in the Indomalayan realm. Ecology Of most species little is known about the ecology, but of those of which it is known, the caterpillars across the genus use a large variety of host plants. At least two mine within pine or spruce needles, one is found respectively on Cyperaceae, Juncaceae, ''Salix'' and ''Populus'', one is a pest of pineapples, another a pest of ''Agave'', one feeds on the fruit of ''Smilax china'' and another on types of palms from Brazil.

Batrachedra Praeangusta
''Batrachedra praeangusta'' is a moth of the family Batrachedridae which is native to Europe. It is also found in North America. It was first described by Adrian Haworth in 1828 from the type specimen found in England. The foodplants of the larvae are poplars (''Populus ''Populus'' is a genus of 25–30 species of deciduous flowering plants in the family Salicaceae, native to most of the Northern Hemisphere. English names variously applied to different species include poplar (), aspen, and cottonwood. The we ...'' species) and willows ('' Salix'' species). Life cycle The moths have elongated narrow forewings with a wingspan of 14–15 mm. The forewings have a white background, with a mix of sooty black and paler colour and the hindwings are shining grey, becoming lighter towards the end. The moth is univoltine (i.e. one generation a year) flying from mid-June to early-September, and can be found on tree trunks and comes to light. Ovum Eggs are laid on various ...

Batrachedra Agaura
''Batrachedra agaura'' is a species of moth in the family Batrachedridae. It is endemic to New Zealand. This species is distributed throughout the country. The species inhabits native forest especially beech and kanuka forest or manuka scrubland. The larvae of this species is associated with sooty mold and with sooty beech scale. It has been hypothesised that the larvae feed on sooty beech scale. However they may also feed on the sooty mold itself. The adult female is lighter in appearance than the male and the species shows considerable variation in patterns on forewing. Adults are on the wing from October to February. They are nocturnal and occasionally attracted to light. Taxonomy This species was described in 1901 by Edward Meyrick. George Hudson discussed and illustrated this species both in his 1928 publication ''The Butterflies and Moths of New Zealand'', and in his 1950 book ''Fragments of New Zealand entomology''. John S. Dugdale criticised the quality of Hudson's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Batrachedra Arenosella
''Batrachedra arenosella'', the armoured scale eating caterpillar or the coconut moth, is a species of moth of the family Batrachedridae. It was first described by Francis Walker using specimens collected in Auckland, New Zealand. It has been hypothesised that the New Zealand moth may contain two distinct species. As well as the moth species in New Zealand, this name has been applied, perhaps incorrectly, to moths found in India, Indonesia, the Malay Peninsula, and Réunion, as well as in Australia, from the Northern Territory and northern Queensland to New South Wales and South Australia. Taxonomy ''B. arenosella'' was first described by Francis Walker in 1864 using specimens collected in Auckland, New Zealand by Daniel Bolton. From 1924 this species name was also applied to moth species found in south east asian countries as well as in Australasia that are known to ingest the flowers of coconut trees. The application of this name to these moths has been argued to be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
