Dystebenna
''Dystebenna'' is a genus of moths of the family Elachistidae. The genus is mostly placed in the family Elachistidae, but other authors list it as a member of the family Agonoxenidae. It contains only one species ''Dystebenna stephensi'', which is found in Asia and Europe. Description The wingspan is 8–9 mm. Adults are on wing from the end of June to September and can be found resting on the trunk of the host tree. The larvae feed on oak (''Quercus'' species) and chestnut (''Castanea'' species). The species overwinters in the pupal stage within the mine. Distribution ''Dystebenna stephensi'' is found in central Europe, Great Britain, southern Sweden, the Crimea and western Transcaucasia The South Caucasus, also known as Transcaucasia or the Transcaucasus, is a geographical region on the border of Eastern Europe and West Asia, straddling the southern Caucasus Mountains. The South Caucasus roughly corresponds to modern Armenia, .... References External links * ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Elachistidae
The Elachistidae (grass-miner moths) are a family of small moths in the Taxonomic rank, superfamily Gelechioidea. Some authors lumpers and splitters, lump about 3,300 species in eight subfamilies here, but this arrangement almost certainly results in a massively paraphyletic and completely unnatural assemblage, united merely by symplesiomorphies retained from the first gelechioid moths. In fact, most of these moths appear to be either closer to the Oecophorinae and are hence nowadays usually included in the Oecophoridae (Depressariinae, "Deuterogoniinae", Hypertrophinae, Stenomatinae and perhaps the enigmatic ''Aeolanthes''), or constitute quite basal (evolution), basal lineages of gelechioids, neither closely related to ''Elachista'' nor to ''Oecophora'', and hence best treated as independent families within the Gelechioidea (Agonoxenidae, Ethmiidae). The genus ''Coelopoeta'' is sometimes still placed here, but probably belongs in the Oecophorinae. Consequently, the Elachistidae ...
