Pyroderces Aellotricha
''Pyroderces aellotricha'', also known as the Cosmet moth, is a moth of the family Cosmopterigidae. It is found in New Zealand, in Australia and the Cook Islands. Taxonomy This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1889 and named ''Proterocosma aellotricha''. Meyrick, when first describing the species, used two specimens collected in Hamilton, New Zealand, Hamilton in January. In 1915 Meyrick placed this species within the genus ''Pyroderces''. The female lectotype, collected in Hamilton, is held at the Natural History Museum, London. Description Meyrick described the species as follows: Distribution This species is found in New Zealand, including at the Kermadec Islands, in Tasmania, Australia and in Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. Other than its type locality it has also been collecting in Whangārei. Hosts The larvae of this species feed on ripening seed heads of Typha orientalis, raupō, and stored maize cobs.

However, in 1928 George Hudson discussed and illustrated the species under the name ''Pyroderces apparitella''. John S. Dugdale affirmed the placement of this species in the genus ''Pyroderces'' in 1988. In 2019, in a publication by Alan Emmerson & Robert Hoare, this species was referred to as ''Pyroderces'' ( ...
