Deoptilia Heptadeta
''Deoptilia heptadeta'' is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Japan (the Ryukyu Islands, Kyūshū, Shikoku, Honshū, Tusima, the Amami Islands) and Taiwan. The wingspan is 6.3–8.3 mm. The larvae feed on '' Mallotus japonicus''. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine usually occurs upon the upper surface of the leaf; at first it is an entirely epidermal and linear gallery, whitish with a glassy luster and irregularly curved, sometimes occurring along the leaf-veins. Soon after, it is broadened into a moderate blotch, sometimes elongated along a leaf-vein or situated on a space between two veins. It is whitish and blister-like. In the later stages the larva continues feeding on the leaf-tissue within the blotchy mine. Finally, it leaves only upper and lower epidermal layers of the leaf.

Deoptilia Syrista
''Deoptilia syrista'' is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from the states of Karnataka and Maharashtra in India and from Malaysia and Taiwan. The larvae feed on ''Mallotus philippinensis''. 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 starts as an irregular gallery along the veins under the upper cuticle of the leaf. Later mining occurs under a web spun over the upper surface of the veins. Eating takes place on either side of the vein, but the red dotted glands remain untouched. References Acrocercopinae Moths of Asia Moths described in 1926 {{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.

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").
