Macarostola Miniella
''Macarostola miniella'' is a species of moth in the family Gracillariidae. It is endemic to New Zealand. This species is only found in the North Island and the adult moths have two different colour variations. Taxonomy This species was first described by Baron Cajetan von Felder, Rudolf Felder and Alois Friedrich Rogenhofer in 1875 under the name ''Stathmopoda miniella''. Edward Meyrick, thinking he was describing a new species, named it ''Gracilaria ethela'' in 1880. Meyrick synonymised this name with ''S. miniella'' in 1889. John S. Dugdale assigned this species to the genus '' Macraostola'' in 1988. The lectotype specimen is held at the Natural History Museum, London. Description Meyrick described the species as follows: The adult moths of this species come in two colour variations. The more common variation is the crimson and yellow form. The other variation has more dull fuscous colouration replacing the crimson. Distribution This species is endemic to New Z ...
