Sphagiocrates Lusoria
''Sphagiocrates lusoria'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922. It is found on Java Java (; id, Jawa, ; jv, ꦗꦮ; su, ) is one of the Greater Sunda Islands in Indonesia. It is bordered by the Indian Ocean to the south and the Java Sea to the north. With a population of 151.6 million people, Java is the world's mo ... and Sumatra in Indonesia. The wingspan is 23–24 mm. The basal area of the forewings is suffused with orange and there is a violet-brown suffused streak along the costa from the base to near the apex. A short dark brown streak is found on the dorsal edge near the base and there is a streak of ferruginous-orange suffusion from the base along the fold to the plical stigma. The stigmata are represented by spots of orange suffusion, sometimes purplish mixed, the first discal large, rather beyond the plical. There is a shade of orange-purplish suffusion from four-fifths of the costa to three-fourths of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sphagiocrates Chersochlora
''Sphagiocrates chersochlora'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia. 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 about 12 mm. The forewings are ochreous whitish, with some scattered fuscous and dark fuscous scales and with a broad costal streak of fuscous sprinkles from the base terminated by an oblique spot of dark fuscous sprinkles at one-fifth, beyond the apex of this a spot of dark fuscous sprinkles crossing the fold and similar small spots on the dorsum at the base and one-fifth. The plical and first discal stigmata are represented by cloudy spots of fuscous and dark fuscous sprinkles, the plical rather posterior, the second discal ...

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 ...
