Oinophila
''Oinophila'' is a small genus of the fungus moth family (biology), family, Tineidae. Therein, it belongs to the subfamily Hieroxestinae. ''Oinophila v-flava, O. v-flava'', often misspelled "''-flavum''", is commonly known as the wine moth. Its caterpillars borrow into moist cork material, cork – such as of wine bottles stored in a damp cellar – in search of the Mold (fungus), mould which they primarily eat. Species ''Oinophila'' is only a minor lineage in a small subfamily, but the notoriety of the well-known wine moth made it quite well known. In the past, it was thus used as a sort of "wastebin taxon" for miscellaneous Hieroxestinae. Four species remain in the genus at present, but two of these do not actually seem to belong here – they might not even be Hieroxestinae:Robinson [2010] * ''Oinophila argyrospora'' Meyrick, 1931 (provisionally placed here) * ''Oinophila nesiotes'' Walsingham, 1908 * ''Oinophila v-flava'' (Haworth, 1828) * ''Oinophila xanthorrha ...

Opogona
''Opogona'' is a genus of the fungus moth family (biology), family, Tineidae. Therein, it belongs to the subfamily Hieroxestinae. As it includes ''Opogona omoscopa'', the type species of the now-abolished genus ''Hieroxestis'', it is the type genus of its subfamily. They are most common in the Tropics, tropical parts of the world; for example, from Australia, almost thirty species are known. Two members of this genus – the banana moth (''O. sacchari'') and to a lesser extent ''O. omoscopa'' – have been introduced to Europe. Selected species The numerous species of ''Opogona'' include: * ''Opogona aemula'' Meyrick, 1915 (India) * ''Opogona amphicausta'' Meyrick, 1907 (Sri Lanka) * ''Opogona anaclina'' Meyrick, 1915 (India) * ''Opogona arizonensis'' Davis, 1978 * ''Opogona asema'' (Turner, 1900) (Australia) * ''Opogona aurisquamosa'' Butler, 1881 (from Pacific, Society islands, Marquesas, Fiji, Kermadec Islands, Hawaii) * ''Opogona autogama'' (Meyrick, 1911) (Se ...

Tineidae
Tineidae is a family of moths in the order Lepidoptera described by Pierre André Latreille in 1810. Collectively, they are known as fungus moths or tineid moths. The family contains considerably more than 3,000 species in more than 300 genera. Most of the tineid moths are small or medium-sized, with wings held roofwise over the body when at rest. They are particularly common in the Palaearctic, but many occur elsewhere, and some are found very widely as introduced species. Tineids are unusual among Lepidoptera as the larvae of only a very small number of species feed on living plants, the majority feeding on fungi, lichens, and detritus (biology), detritus. The most familiar members of the family are the clothes moths, which have adapted to feeding on stored fabrics and led to their reputation as a household pest. The most widespread of such species are the common clothes moth (''Tineola bisselliella''), the case-bearing clothes moth (''Tinea pellionella''), and the carpet moth ...

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] |
