Bilobata Subsecivella
''Bilobata subsecivella'' is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1852. It is found in South Africa, India, Indonesia ( Java), Mauritius and New Zealand. The species was first recorded from New Zealand as '' Stomopteryx simplicella'', but was redescribed as a new species based on comparison of the genitalia. Furthermore, the white mark at three-fourths of the forewings which is found in both these species, is reduced to a mere spot in ''columbina'' (while it often forms an almost complete fascia in ''simplicella'').

Then he became an instructor at the secondary school in Frankfurt (Oder) and in 1860 he was appointed as the senior instructor of the highest technical high school in Meseritz. He resigned this post after leaving in 1869 for Stettin, ...
