Xenolechia Ceanothiella
''Xenolechia ceanothiella'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California. The wingspan is 50−78 mm. The forewings are whitish, densely dusted with dark fuscous and with three darker shades crossing the wing obliquely, at one-fourth, one-half and three-fourths respectively, sometimes scarcely distinguishable from the rest of the wing except as dark patches on the costa. Between the first of these and the base of the wing, a small black spot is found on the costa and between the first and second dark shade a black spot is located within the costa. Beyond the third dark shade, a narrow whitish streak, sometimes almost obliterated by dusting, curves inward just within the costa, then runs obliquely outward to the termen just beyond the tornus. A more or less distinct black dot is found in the apex, preceded by one or two more or less distinct black dots on the costa and termen. Three large patches of black rai ...

Xenolechia Querciphaga
''Xenolechia querciphaga'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in North America North America is a continent in the Northern Hemisphere and almost entirely within the Western Hemisphere. It is bordered to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the southeast by South America and the Car ..., where it has been recorded from Alabama, Arkansas, California, Mississippi and Texas. The wingspan is 11–12 mm. The forewings are grey, often with a darker spot or tuft at the plical base. Tufts and some raised scales are present, the tufts usually blackish or somewhat darker than general wing colour. The hindwings are lighter grey than the forewings. The larvae feed on '' Quercus wislizenii'' and '' Quercus douglasii''. The larvae have a green body and light amber head. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Xenolechia Velatella
''Xenolechia velatella'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in North America North America is a continent in the Northern Hemisphere and almost entirely within the Western Hemisphere. It is bordered to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the southeast by South America and the Car ..., where it has been recorded from Alberta, Arizona and British Columbia. The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are clothed with very long, narrow speckled scales. The ground colour is white, heavily overlaid with ochreous and fuscous on the basal two thirds of the wing. The apical third is also sprinkled with dark scales, but to a lesser extent and appears quite light contrasted with the basal part. Near the base is an oblique, outwardly directed, black costal streak, reaching the fold and followed by a white space only slightly sprinkled with dark scales. There are two longitudinal rows of tufts of raised scales, one through t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Edward Meyrick
Edward Meyrick (25 November 1854, in Ramsbury – 31 March 1938, at Thornhanger, Marlborough) was an English schoolmaster and amateur entomologist. He was an expert on microlepidoptera and some consider him one of the founders of modern microlepidoptera systematics. Life and work Edward Meyrick came from a Welsh clerical family and was born in Ramsbury on the Kennet to a namesake father. He was educated at Marlborough College and Trinity College, Cambridge. He actively pursued his hobby during his schooling, and one colleague stated in 1872 that Meyrick "has not left a lamp, a paling, or a tree unexamined in which a moth could possibly, at any stage of its existence, lie hid." Meyrick began publishing notes on microlepidopterans in 1875, but when in December, 1877 he gained a post at The King's School, Parramatta, New South Wales, there were greater opportunities for indulging his interest. He stayed in Australia for ten years (from 1877 until the end of 1886) working a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...
