Gelechiinae
Gelechiinae is a subfamily of moths in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Henry Tibbats Stainton in 1854. Taxonomy The subfamily includes the following tribes and genera: *Litini Bruand, 1859 **''Agnippe'' Chambers, 1872 **''Altenia'' Sattler, 1960 **'' Angustialata'' Omelko, 1988 **''Arcutelphusa'' Lee & Brown, 2008 **''Argyrolacia'' Keifer, 1936 **''Arogalea'' Walsingham, 1910 **''Carpatolechia'' Capuse, 1964 **''Chorivalva'' Omelko, 1988 **''Coleotechnites'' Chambers, 1880 **''Concubina'' Omelko & Omelko, 2004 **''Exoteleia'' Wallengren, 1881 ** ''Glauce'' Chambers, 1875 **''Istrianis'' Meyrick, 1918 **''Neotelphusa'' Janse, 1958 **'' Parachronistis'' Meyrick, 1925 **''Parastenolechia'' Kanazawa, 1985 **'' Piskunovia'' Omelko, 1988 **''Pragmatodes'' Walsingham, 908/small> **'' Protoparachronistis'' Omelko, 1986 **''Pseudotelphusa'' Janse, 1958 **''Pubitelphusa'' Lee & Brown, 2013 **'' Recurvaria'' Haworth, 1828 **''Schistophila'' Chrétien, 1899 **'' Schneidereri ...

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.

Gelechiidae
The Gelechiidae are a family of moths commonly referred to as twirler moths or gelechiid moths. They are the namesake family of the huge and little-studied superfamily Gelechioidea, and the family's taxonomy has been subject to considerable dispute. These are generally very small moths with narrow, fringed wings. The larvae of most species feed internally on various parts of their host plants, sometimes causing galls. Douglas-fir (''Pseudotsuga'') is a host plant common to many species of the family, particularly of the genus '' Chionodes'', which as a result is more diverse in North America than usual for Gelechioidea. By the late 20th century, over 900 genera with altogether more than 4,500 species were placed here, with about 650 genera known from North America alone. While these figures are certainly outdated, due to the many revisions to superfamily Gelechioidea and new descriptions of twirler moths, they still serve to show the enormous biodiversity contained in this ...

New Guinea
New Guinea (; Hiri Motu: ''Niu Gini''; id, Papua, or , historically ) is the world's second-largest island with an area of . Located in Oceania in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, the island is separated from Australia by the wide Torres Strait, though both landmasses lie on the same continental shelf. Numerous smaller islands are located to the west and east. The eastern half of the island is the major land mass of the independent state of Papua New Guinea. The western half, known as Western New Guinea, forms a part of Indonesia and is organized as the provinces of Papua, Central Papua, Highland Papua, South Papua, Southwest Papua, and West Papua. The largest cities on the island are Jayapura (capital of Papua, Indonesia) and Port Moresby (capital of Papua New Guinea). Names The island has been known by various names: The name ''Papua'' was used to refer to parts of the island before contact with the West. Its etymology is unclear; one theory states that ...
