The stigmata are represented by elongate black marks, the plical obliquely before the first discal, an additional mark in the disc towards the base. The costa is more or less black on the postmedian area. There is a fine very oblique whitish line from three-fourths of the costa to the termen above the middle. The apical area beyond this is suffused with light brownish and there is a black mark along the apical part of the costa and an in ...

Untomia Untomiella
''Untomia untomiella'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by August Busck Augustus Busck (February 18, 1870 – March 7, 1944) was a Danish-American entomologist with the United States Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Entomology. He is best known for his work with microlepidoptera, of which he described over ... in 1906. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Texas. The wingspan is 8–9 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, irregularly and sparsely sprinkled with ochreous and blackish scales. There is a longitudinal black dot on the middle of the cell, and another more prominent black dot at the end of the cell. At the beginning of the dorsal cilia is an outwardly directed oblique narrow white streak, nearly parallel with the edge of the wing and reaching nearly to apex where it is met by a similar costal white streak. Both of these are often more or less incomplete and faint and the small size of the species makes the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Untomia Alticolens
''Untomia alticolens'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1911. It is found in Mexico ( Guerrero). The wingspan is 12–14 mm. The forewings are pale fawn, shaded and blotched with dark chocolate-brown, the costa to one-third white, with a dark brown spot at the extreme base. Before the middle of the costa commences an elongate dark chocolate-brown patch which extends to the commencement of the costal cilia, before which it is interrupted by a short outwardly oblique white costal streak. The fawn-brown colour, spreading at the base over two-thirds of the wing-width, contains two dark suffused spots on the fold, the second followed by some whitish scales. There is a small dark spot on the cell before the middle, and a second somewhat obliquely placed at the end of the cell, the latter followed by a whitish space, the whole dorsal half of the wing being slightly sprinkled with dark scales. Before the apex a dark chocolate precedes a margin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Untomia Latistriga
''Untomia latistriga'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1911. It is found in Mexico (Morelos).

For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan of ... is about 12 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous, a black spot at the base of the costa, produced in a narrow line along the costa to beyond one-third, where it is dilated into a broad patch shaded with brown along its lower edge, and continued to the commencement of the costal cilia. Here is a rather widened, obliquely outward-curved, white costal streak, separated by a narrow brown space from a smaller, oblique, straight white streak preceding the semicircular black line which follows the margin of the evenly rounded apex and termen through the base of the whitish ochreous cilia, ...

Untomia Rotundata
''Untomia rotundata'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1911. It is found in Mexico ( Tabasco). The wingspan is about 8.5 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous, slightly suffused with brownish olivaceous. Along the base of the dorsum is a strong brownish patch reaching to beyond one-third, its outer end becoming nearly black, produced upward and outward to a point on the middle of the wing.

On the extreme base of the costa is a short black streak. The hindwings are dull grey, s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995. The Lepidoptera: Form, function and diversity. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press; 404 p. Although the rules for distinguishing moths from butterflies are not well establishe ...

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 import ...
