Ecclitica Torogramma
''Ecclitica torogramma'', also known as the ponga ugly nestmaker, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is endemic to New Zealand. Taxonomy This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1897 using specimens collected by George Hudson (entomologist), George Hudson in Wellington and named ''Cacoecia torogramma''. Description The larva is small and green with a brown head and when mature is under 10 mm in length. Meyrick described the adult female of this species as follows: Distribution This species is endemic to New Zealand and is found throughout the North Island and in the northern parts of the South Island. Habitat and hosts This species inhabits native forest. Its larval host plant is the silver fern. Behaviour The larvae create a nest for themselves by weaving the growing tips of the fronds of its host plant together with silk webbing. They consume these fronds during spring and summer. Adults of this species are on the wing from September to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Archipini
The Archipini are a tribe of tortrix moths. Since many genera of these are not yet assigned to tribes, the genus list presented here is provisional. Diversity Archipini is the largest tribe in the Tortricinae subfamily, containing over 1,600 described species in about 150 genera. Distribution Archipini are found in all ecoregions, although there are only few species in the Neotropical realm. Biology Many of the economically important pests among the tortrix moths belong to this tribe, for example the Light brown apple moth and the spruce budworms. The larvae are often polyphagous.

Edward Meyrick
Edward Meyrick (25 November 1854, in Ramsbury – 31 March 1938, at Thornhanger, Marlborough) was an English schoolmaster and amateur entomologist. He was an expert on microlepidoptera and some consider him one of the founders of modern microlepidoptera systematics. Life and work Edward Meyrick came from a Welsh clerical family and was born in Ramsbury on the Kennet to a namesake father. He was educated at Marlborough College and Trinity College, Cambridge. He actively pursued his hobby during his schooling, and one colleague stated in 1872 that Meyrick "has not left a lamp, a paling, or a tree unexamined in which a moth could possibly, at any stage of its existence, lie hid." Meyrick began publishing notes on microlepidopterans in 1875, but when in December, 1877 he gained a post at The King's School, Parramatta, New South Wales, there were greater opportunities for indulging his interest. He stayed in Australia for ten years (from 1877 until the end of 1886) working a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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.

Tortricinae
The Tortricinae are the nominate subfamily of tortrix moths. Commonly referred to as leafrollers, as the larvae build shelters by folding or rolling leaves of the food plant, the tortricinae include several notable pests as well species used as biological control agents against invasive weeds. Genera ''incertae sedis'' These tortricine genera have not been assigned to a tribe yet: * '' Apateta'' * ''Apinoglossa'' * '' Arotrophora'' * '' Camadeniana'' * ''Deltisosciaria'' * '' Hydaranthes'' * '' Ioditis'' * '' Matronula'' * '' Paracomotis'' * '' Paraphyas'' * '' Parastranga'' * '' Peraglyphis'' * '' Syllomatia'' * '' Symphygas'' * '' Tanychaeta'' Former genera :'' Alytopistis'' (synonym of '' Ardiosteres'') Life cycle File:Acleris schalleriana caterpillar.jpg, Caterpillar of '' Acleris schalleriana'' inside rolled leaf of ''Viburnum dentatum ''Viburnum dentatum'', southern arrowwood or arrowwood viburnum or roughish arrowwood, is a small shrub, native to the eastern Unit ...

Tortricidae
The Tortricidae are a family of moths, commonly known as tortrix moths or leafroller moths, in the order Lepidoptera. This large family has over 11,000 species described, and is the sole member of the superfamily Tortricoidea, although the genus '' Heliocosma'' is sometimes placed within this superfamily. Many of these are economically important pests. Olethreutidae is a junior synonym. The typical resting posture is with the wings folded back, producing a rather rounded profile. Notable tortricids include the codling moth and the spruce budworm, which are among the most well-studied of all insects because of their economic impact. Description Tortricid moths are generally small, with a wingspan of 3 cm or less.Hanson, Paul E. (04-11-2018). Insects and Other Arthropods of Tropical America. Cornell University Press. Many species are drab and have mottled and marbled brown colors, but some diurnal species are brightly colored and mimic other moths of the families Geome ...
