Platyedra Erebodoxa
''Platyedra erebodoxa'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1927. It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Kasai-Occidental, Maniema) and Cameroon. The wingspan is 17–19 mm. The forewings are light brownish ochreous irregularly mixed with dark fuscous and with a dark bluish-fuscous spot on the base of the costa. The dorsum is narrowly suffused with dark fuscous and there is a suffused dark fuscous transverse fascia before the middle. The posterior two-fifths is wholly dark fuscous except a pale brownish-ochreous spot on the costa at four-fifths and a dot on the tornus opposite. The hindwings are grey. The larvae feed on ''Hibiscus diversifolius'' and ''Dombeya emarginata ''Dombeya'' is a flowering plant genus. Traditionally included in the family Sterculiaceae, it is included in the expanded Malvaceae in the APG and most subsequent systematics. These plants are known by a number of vernacular names which someti ...''. ...

Platyedra Subcinerea
''Platyedra subcinerea'', the mallow groundling or cotton stem moth, is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in most of Europe. It is an in introduced species in North America, where it has been recorded from New England and California, and has also been introduced to New Zealand. The habitat consists of wet meadows, marshes and gardens. The wingspan is 14–21 mm. The forewings are tan, speckled and with a longitudinal series of alternating dots and streaks through the middle of the wing. The dots are usually surrounded by a lighter patch and the last dot may be double. The tips of the forewings are darker. The hindwings are very pale grey.

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 ...
