Heteroderces Oxylitha
''Heteroderces oxylitha'' is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1929. It is found in Assam, India. The wingspan is 10–11 mm. The forewings are light brownish ochreous, with the bases of the scales tinged with whitish and the base of the costa suffused with dark fuscous. The stigmata are black, the first discal forming an oval spot touching a dot before it, the plical linear, obliquely before the first discal, the second discal moderate, tending to be linear. An elongate mark of dark fuscous suffusion is found on the costa above the second discal veins posteriorly tending to be streaked fuscous. There are also some small black angular dots on the termen. The hindwings are light grey. References Moths described in 1929 Lecithoceridae {{Lecithoceridae-stub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Heteroderces Paeta
''Heteroderces paeta'' is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1929. It is found in Sri Lanka. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan ... is about 8 mm. The forewings are white, faintly irrorated (sprinkled) with greyish, with some minute scattered black specks. The costal edge is black at the base and the discal stigmata are black, the first small, the second rather large and round, a rather large black dot below and rather obliquely before it.

Lecithoceridae
The Lecithoceridae, or long-horned moths, are a family of small moths described by Simon Le Marchand in 1947. Although lecithocerids are found throughout the world, the great majority are found in the Indomalayan realm and the southern part of the Palaearctic realm. Systematics The Lecithoceridae belong to the superfamily Gelechioidea, and comprises over 100 genera and nearly 900 species. The family is divided into these subfamilies: *Lecithocerinae *Torodorinae Gozmány in Amsel et al., 1978 *Ceuthomadarinae Gozmány, 1978 Park (2015) recently proposed another subfamily Crocanthinae, mainly based on ''Crocanthes'' Meyrick. The new subfamily include ''Crocanthes'' Meyrick, ''Aprosesta'' Turner, ''st. rev.'' (which is resurrected as a valid genus), ''Lamprista'' Park, ''Pacificulla'' Park, ''Hannara'' Park, and ''Gonaepa'' Walker.

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.
