This species can be found in both the North and South Islands. The larval host plants are in the '' Veronica'' (also known as Hebe) genus and include ''Veronica stricta,'' '' Veronica salicifolia, Veronica elliptica, Veronica macrocarpa'' and ''Veronica speciosa.'' This moth likely has two broods a year and adults have been observed all year round. Taxonomy This species was first described by Francis Walker in 1864 using specimens collected in Nelson by T. R. Oxley. Walker originally named the species ''Platyptilus falcatalis''. In 1875 Cajetan von Felder and Alois Friedrich Rogenhofer, thinking they were describing a new species, named it ''Platyptilus haasti.'' John S. Dugdale synonymised this name with ''P. facatalis'' in 1988. In 1923, thinking he was describing a new species Alfred P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

This species inhabits rough herbage on mountain sides. Larvae feed on '' Veronica buchananii''. Adults are on the wing in January. Taxonomy This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1885 using specimens collected in January at Arthur's Pass and named ''Mimaeseoptilis lithoxestus''.

Amblyptilia Epotis
''Amblyptilia epotis'' is a moth of the family Pterophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and is found in the South and Stewart Islands.
