Blastobasis
''Blastobasis'' is the type genus of the gelechioid moth family Blastobasidae; in some arrangements these are placed in the case-bearer family (Coleophoridae) as a subfamily. Within the Blastobasidae, the subfamily Blastobasinae (or tribe Blastobasini, if united with the concealer moths) has been established to distinguish the ''Blastobasis'' lineage from the group around ''Holcocera'', but the delimitation is not yet well-resolved. The monophyly of this genus – the largest of its family, containing at present about half the described Blastobasidae species – is seriously in doubt. Many presumed relatives have been separated in small or even monotypic genera, which may actually represent specialized lineages within the ''Blastobasis'' assemblage. On the other hand, some formerly-independent genera are usually included in ''Blastobasis'' at the moment. ''Agnoea'', '' Auximobasis'', ''Euresia'' and '' Zenodochium'' are sometimes included here but considered distinct ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Blastobasis Adustella
''Blastobasis adustella'' is a species of moth of the family Blastobasidae. It is endemic to Australian region, but was introduced in western Europe and is now reported from The Netherlands, Great Britain, Ireland, Madeira and the Azores Description The wingspan is 15–20 mm. Adults are on wing from August to September. The larvae feed on a variety of foodstuffs, including decaying vegetable matter as well as the seedheads of wild teasel (''Dipsacus fullonum'') in Europe. Taxonomy The name ''Blastobasis lignea'' has often been used for records now considered as ''Blastobasis adustella''.

Blastobasis Lacticolella
''Blastobasis lacticolella'' is a species of moth of the family Blastobasidae. It was introduced in western Europe and is now reported from the Netherlands, Great Britain , Ireland and Madeira. Description 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 ... is 18–21 mm. Adults are on wing from May to June and again in autumn. The larvae feed on a wide variety of food types, including leaf-litter, vegetation and stored products.

Blastobasis Phycidella
''Blastobasis phycidella'' is a moth in the family Blastobasidae. It is found in most of Europe (except Fennoscandia, Latvia, Estonia, Ireland and Iceland). The wingspan is 17–19 mm. There is probably one generation per year with adults on wing from the end of June to the beginning of early August. The larvae feed on decomposing wood of oak (''Quercus An oak is a tree or shrub in the genus ''Quercus'' (; Latin "oak tree") of the beech family, Fagaceae. There are approximately 500 extant species of oaks. The common name "oak" also appears in the names of species in related genera, notably ' ...'' species), fallen pine needles and dried fungus.

Blastobasidae
The Blastobasidae are a family of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Its species can be found almost anywhere in the world, though in some places they are not native but introduced by humans. In some arrangements, these moths are included in the case-bearer family (Coleophoridae) as subfamily Blastobasinae. The Symmocidae are sometimes included in the Blastobasidae (particularly if both are included in Coleophoridae) as subfamily or tribe. In addition, the group around ''Holcocera'' is often separated as subfamily Holcocerinae (or tribe Holcocerini) from the ''Blastobasis'' lineage (which correspondingly become a subfamily, or a tribe Blastobasini). While this seems far more reasonable than some of the more extreme arrangements sometimes seen in Gelechioidea taxonomy and systematics, the relationships among Blastobasidae genera are not yet sufficiently studied to allow a well-supported subdivision of this family. Description and ecology The adults are generally small, slen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
