Ethmia Longimaculella
''Ethmia longimaculella'', the streaked ethmia moth, is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It is found from southern Canada and the northern United States east of the Rocky Mountains. In the Midwest, the range extends south to Texas. The length of the forewings is . The ground color of the forewings is white, with black markings, mostly in the form of longitudinal streaks. The ground color of the hindwings is whitish, basally becoming pale brownish. Adults of subspecies ''longimaculella'' are generally on wing from late May to early July, while those of subspecies ''coranella'' have been recorded in May, June and August. The larvae feed on ''Lithospermum'' species, including ''Lithospermum officinale'' and ''Lithospermum latifolium ''Lithospermum latifolium'' is a species of flowering plant in the borage family known by the common names American gromwell and American stoneseed.

Vactor Tousey Chambers
Vactor Tousey Chambers (commonly V.T. Chambers) (6 August 1830, Burlington, Kentucky – 7 August 1883, in Covington, Kentucky) was an American entomologist who specialized in Microlepidoptera. He along with James Brackenridge Clemens, was a pioneer in the study of these insects. He described many new species, with particularly many now placed in Gelechioidea.

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.

Depressariidae
Depressariidae is a family of moths. It has formerly been treated as a subfamily of Gelechiidae, but is now recognised as a separate family, comprising about 2,300 species worldwide.Heikkilä, M. ''et al''. 2014: Morphology reinforces proposed molecular phylogenetic affinities: a revised classification for Gelechioidea (Lepidoptera). ''Cladistics'', 30(6): 563-589. Subfamilies Depressariidae consists of ten subfamilies: * Acriinae * Aeolanthinae * Cryptolechiinae * Depressariinae * Ethmiinae * Hypercalliinae * Hypertrophinae * Oditinae * Peleopodinae * Stenomatinae The Stenomatinae are a subfamily of small moths in the family Depressariidae.

Canada
Canada is a country in North America. Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering over , making it the world's second-largest country by total area. Its southern and western border with the United States, stretching , is the world's longest binational land border. Canada's capital is Ottawa, and its three largest metropolitan areas are Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. Indigenous peoples have continuously inhabited what is now Canada for thousands of years. Beginning in the 16th century, British and French expeditions explored and later settled along the Atlantic coast. As a consequence of various armed conflicts, France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and ...

Rocky Mountains
The Rocky Mountains, also known as the Rockies, are a major mountain range and the largest mountain system in North America. The Rocky Mountains stretch in straight-line distance from the northernmost part of western Canada, to New Mexico in the southwestern United States. Depending on differing definitions between Canada and the U.S., its northern terminus is located either in northern British Columbia's Terminal Range south of the Liard River and east of the Trench, or in the northeastern foothills of the Brooks Range/ British Mountains that face the Beaufort Sea coasts between the Canning River and the Firth River across the Alaska- Yukon border. Its southernmost point is near the Albuquerque area adjacent to the Rio Grande rift and north of the Sandia–Manzano Mountain Range. Being the easternmost portion of the North American Cordillera, the Rockies are distinct from the tectonically younger Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada, which both lie farther to its west. ...

Lithospermum
''Lithospermum'' is a genus of plants belonging to the family Boraginaceae. The genus is distributed nearly worldwide, but most are native to the Americas and the center of diversity is in the southwestern United States and Mexico. Species are known generally as gromwells or stoneseeds. Taxonomy There are about 50, to 60 species in the genus.Cohen, J. I., (2012)Comparative floral development in ''Lithospermum'' (Boraginaceae) and implications for the evolution and development of heterostyly.''American Journal of Botany'' 99(5), 797–805. Some species, such as '' Lithospermum arvense'', are sometimes classified in the genus ''Buglossoides'', but that genus is subsumed into ''Lithospermum'' by works such as the ''Flora of China''. In addition, a 2009 molecular study showed that the genus ''Onosmodium'' should be included within ''Lithospermum''. Species include: *'' Lithospermum arvense'' (syn.

Lithospermum Officinale
''Lithospermum officinale'', or common gromwell or European stoneseed, is a flowering plant species in the family ''Boraginaceae'', native to Eurasia. It is the host plant for caterpillars of the monophagous moth ''Ethmia dodecea''. Description Common gromwell is an erect, downy perennial plant growing up to 60 – 80 cm tall.Gibbons B, Brough P. 2008. ''Guide to Wildflowers of Britain and Northern Europe''. Philips The unstalked, lanceolate leaves grow up to 10 cm long and are strongly marked with lateral veins below. The greenish white, funnel-shaped flowers, appearing June – July, measure 3 – 4 mm across and are borne in short, dense cymose clusters within the leaf axils. When in fruit, the inflorescences form a V-shaped, elongated spray. The fruits comprise 4 shiny white nutlets that measure 3 – 4 mm long and persist well into winter. Habitat and distribution The plant is very widely distributed throughout Europe and Asia. It is locally common in the UK, where it is ...
