Caryocolum Crepusculella
''Caryocolum crepusculella'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Karl August Teich from Latvia. This species was described from two syntypes collected on 27 June and 2 July on swamp land. According to the original description, ''C. crepusculella'' is related to ''Caryocolum vicinella'' and ''Caryocolum fischerella ''Caryocolum fischerella'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in central and northern Europe. The wingspan is 11–13 mm. The forewings are mid-brown. The moths are on wing from June to July depending on the location. The ...''. However, the real identity of this species remains obscure as the Teich collection was destroyed. References Moths described in 1903 crepusculella Moths of Europe {{Caryocolum-stub ...

Karl August Teich
Karl, or Carl, August Teich (1838 Harthau-Chemnitz - 1908 Riga) was a German entomologist who specialised in Lepidoptera especially of the Baltic region. He described '' Caryocolum crepusculella'', '' Gelechia bergiella'' and '' Gelechia farinosa'' among others. Fragments of his microlepidoptera Microlepidoptera (micromoths) is an artificial (i.e., unranked and not monophyletic) grouping of moth families, commonly known as the 'smaller moths' ( micro, Lepidoptera). These generally have wingspans of under 20 mm, and are thus harder ... collections are held by the Latvian Museum of Natural History. The bulk did not survive.

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.

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 ...

Latvia
Latvia ( or ; lv, Latvija ; ltg, Latveja; liv, Leţmō), officially the Republic of Latvia ( lv, Latvijas Republika, links=no, ltg, Latvejas Republika, links=no, liv, Leţmō Vabāmō, links=no), is a country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe. It is one of the Baltic states; and is bordered by Estonia to the north, Lithuania to the south, Russia to the east, Belarus to the southeast, and shares a maritime border with Sweden to the west. Latvia covers an area of , with a population of 1.9 million. The country has a temperate seasonal climate. Its capital and largest city is Riga. Latvians belong to the ethno-linguistic group of the Balts; and speak Latvian, one of the only two surviving Baltic languages. Russians are the most prominent minority in the country, at almost a quarter of the population. After centuries of Teutonic, Swedish, Polish-Lithuanian and Russian rule, which was mainly executed by the local Baltic German aristocracy, the independent ...

Syntype
In biological nomenclature, a syntype is any one of two or more biological types that is listed in a description of a taxon where no holotype was designated. Precise definitions of this and related terms for types have been established as part of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. In zoology In zoological nomenclature, a syntype is defined as "Each specimen of a type series (q.v.) from which neither a holotype nor a lectotype has been designated rts. 72.1.2, 73.2, 74 The syntypes collectively constitute the name-bearing type." (Glossary of the zoological Code ). Historically, syntypes were often explicitly designated as such, and under the present ICZN this is a requirement (Art. 72.3), but modern attempts to publish species or subspecies descriptions based on syntypes are generally frowned upon by practicing taxonomists, and most are gradually being replaced by lectotypes.

Caryocolum Vicinella
''Caryocolum vicinella'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in most of Europe, eastwards to the southern Ural. Taxonomy The wingspan is about 12 mm. Adults are on wing from July to September. The larvae feed on '' Cerastium arvense'', ''Dianthus'', ''Lychnis alpina'', ''Lychnis viscaria'', ''Minuartia'', '' Petrorhagia prolifera'', '' Petrorhagia saxifraga'', '' Silene inflata'', '' Silene nutans'', '' Silene vulgaris maritima'', ''Spergularia rubra'', ''Stellaria media'', ''Stellaria nemorum ''Stellaria nemorum'', also known by the common name wood stitchwort, is a stoloniferous herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae Caryophyllaceae, commonly called the pink family or carnation family, is a family of f ...'' and '' Stellaria uliginosum''.

Caryocolum Fischerella
''Caryocolum fischerella'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in central and northern Europe. The wingspan is 11–13 mm. The forewings are mid-brown. The moths are on wing from June to July depending on the location. The larvae feed on '' Saponaria officinalis'' and ''Saponaria ocymoides''. They are gregarious Sociality is the degree to which individuals in an animal population tend to associate in social groups (gregariousness) and form cooperative societies. Sociality is a survival response to evolutionary pressures. For example, when a mother w ... and feed within spun terminal shoots of their host plant. The larvae can be found in May. Pupation takes place in a web between the leaves of the host plant. References External links Lepforum.de Moths described in 1833 fischerella Moths of Europe {{Caryocolum-stub ...
