''Enchocrates picrophylla'' is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1886. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia and New South Wales. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the opposite wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingsp ... is 20–21 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous grey with the costal edge, inner margin, and all veins obscurely lined with dull flesh colour. There is a fuscous dot beneath the costa at one-sixth and a dark fuscous dot on the fold before the middle, and a second in the disc at two-thirds, as well as three very obscure dull flesh-coloured transverse lines, the first from one-third of the costa, becoming obsolete beneath, the second from the middle of the costa to the anal angle, very strongly angulated in the mid ...

There is a very ill-defined straight oblique cloudy dark grey transverse line from the middle of the costa to the inner margin at two-thirds. There is also a very ill-defined roundish pale yellow spot on middle of the inner margin, anteriorly or wholly carmine tinged, margined anteriorly by the transverse dark grey line.

The forewings are bright crimson, suffusedly mixed with light ashy-grey, except on the edge. There is a darker purple-grey cloudy line beneath the costal edge and the costal edge is yellow on the basal third, as well as a purplish-fuscous dot in the disc before the middle, a second on the fold slightly before the first, and a third in the disc at two-thirds.

The forewings are grey, speckled whitish, with irregular dark grey irroration. There are undefined markings of dark grey suffusion: an oblique blotch from the base of the costa confluent beneath with a transverse blotch from the costa at one-fourth, transverse blotches from the costa at the middle and two-thirds, and indications of a subterminal shade. The hindwings are pale grey. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Edward Meyrick
Edward Meyrick (25 November 1854 – 31 March 1938) 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 clerical family and was born in Ramsbury on 25 November 1854 to the Rev. Edward Meyrick, until his marriage earlier that year a Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, and his wife Mary Batson of Ramsbury. 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 st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Moth
Moths are a group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not Butterfly, butterflies. They were previously classified as suborder Heterocera, but the group is Paraphyly, paraphyletic with respect to butterflies (suborder Rhopalocera) and neither subordinate taxon is used in modern classifications. Moths make up the vast majority of the order. There are approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, although there are also crepuscular and Diurnal animal, diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the Butterfly, butterflies form a monophyly, 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 a ...

Oecophoridae
Oecophoridae (concealer moths) is a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. The phylogeny and systematics of gelechoid moths are still not fully resolved, and the circumscription of the Oecophoridae is strongly affected by this. Taxonomy and systematics * Pleurotinae Toll, 1956 * Deuterogoniinae Spuler, 1910 * Unplaced ** '' Colchia'' Lvovsky, 1995 Also possibly included is the Peruvian species '' Auxotricha ochrogypsa'', described by Edward Meyrick in 1931 as the sole member of its genus. In the past, the family was circumscribed more widely and included the following subfamilies: * Amphisbatinae (sometimes in Depressariinae) * Autostichinae * Depressariinae (including Cryptolechiinae) * Hypertrophinae * Metachandinae * Oecophorinae (including Chimabachinae, Deuterogoniinae, Peleopodinae, Philobotinae) * Stathmopodinae * Stenomatinae Some treatments include only the Oecophorinae and Stathmopodinae here, placing the others elsewhere in the Gelechoide ...
