Prodoxidae
The Prodoxidae are a family of moths, generally small in size and nondescript in appearance. They include species of moderate pest status, such as the currant shoot borer, and others of considerable ecological and evolutionary interest, such as various species of "yucca moths". Description and affinities Prodoxidae are a family of primitive monotrysian Lepidoptera. Some of these small-to-medium-sized moths are day flying, like '' Lampronia capitella'', known to European gardeners as the currant shoot borer. Others occur in Africa and Asia. The other common genera are generally confined to dry areas of the United States. ''Tetragma gei'' feeds on mountain avens ('' Geum triflorum'') in the US. ''Greya politella'' lay eggs in the flowers of Saxifragaceae there. '' Prodoxoides asymmetra'' occurs in Chile and Argentina, but all other prodoxid moth genera have a northern distribution. The enigmatic genus ''Tridentaforma'' is sometimes placed here and assumed to be close to '' Lam ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Prodoxoides Asymmetra
''Prodoxoides asymmetra'' is a moth of the family Prodoxidae. It is found in the Valdivian temperate rain forest and humid ''Nothofagus''-Chusqua forest along the border of Chile (Osorno Province) and Argentina (Río Negro Province). It is the only known Prodoxidae species in the Southern Hemisphere. 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 9–13 mm. The forewings have different shades of pale to medium brown with a golden lustre. The larvae probably feed on ''Myrceugenella apicaulata''. It is thought the larvae bore inside the buds or twigs of their host plant. References Prodoxidae Monotypic moth genera Adeloidea genera Moths of South America {{Incurvarioidea-stub ...

For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan ... is 8–12 mm. Adults have relatively narrow forewings with a mosaic of white, fuscous and rusty scales. The hindwings are uniform brown. Females have a hooked appendage on the seventh tergite, used to anchor the abdomen against a floral calyx when cutting into the ovary of the host plant. Adults feed on flower nectar of the larval host plants. The larvae feed on '' Nolina'' and '' Dasylirion'' species. The larvae complete their development inside one or more seeds. When fully grown, they burrow into the soil, where pupation takes place. References Prodoxida ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
