Chilocampyla Dyariella
''Chilocampyla dyariella'' is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Florida, United States. The wingspan is 7-8.5 mm. The larvae feed on ''Eugenia'' species including ''Eugenia axillaris'', ''Eugenia foetida'', '' Eugenia garberi'', ''Eugenia procera'' and '' Eugenia rhombea''. They mine Mine, mines, miners or mining may refer to: Extraction or digging * Miner, a person engaged in mining or digging *Mining, extraction of mineral resources from the ground through a mine Grammar *Mine, a first-person English possessive pronoun ... the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a long narrow line along the edge of the leaf for about 25 mm and then turning inward suddenly broadening out in a large bladder-like blotch nearly covering the entire leaf. The upper and lower epidermis are separated and the leaf is inflated and yields to pressure like an air cushion. The mine shows whitish green on the underside, discoloured with purple on the upp ...

Chilocampyla Psidiella
''Chilocampyla psidiella'' is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Cuba. The larvae feed on ''Eugenia axillaris'', ''Psidium guajava'' and ''Psidium guineense''. They mine Mine, mines, miners or mining may refer to: Extraction or digging * Miner, a person engaged in mining or digging *Mining, extraction of mineral resources from the ground through a mine Grammar *Mine, a first-person English possessive pronoun ... the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a narrow serpentine track on the upper side of the leaf, later broadening into a large irregular blotch mine. The upper epidermis turns white and makes the mines very noticeable at a distance. References Acrocercopinae Moths described in 1934 Endemic fauna of Cuba {{Acrocercopinae-stub ...

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 ...

Gracillariidae
Gracillariidae is an important family of insects in the order Lepidoptera and the principal family of leaf miners that includes several economic, horticultural or recently invasive pest species such as the horse-chestnut leaf miner, ''Cameraria ohridella''. Taxonomy and systematics There are 98 described genera of Gracillariidae (see below). A complete checklist is available of all currently recognised species. There are many undescribed species in the tropics but there is also an online catalogue of Afrotropical described speci the South African fauna is quite well known. Although Japanese and Russian authors have recognised additional subfamilies, there are three currently recognised subfamilies, Phyllocnistinae of which is likely to be basal. In this subfamily, the primitive genus ''Prophyllocnistis'' from Chile feeds on the plant genus ''Drimys'' (Winteraceae), and has leaf mines structurally similar in structure to fossils (see "Fossils").
