Flower Moth
Scythrididae (flower moths) is a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. The family is sometimes included in the Xyloryctidae as a subfamily Scythridinae, but the Xyloryctidae themselves have sometimes been included in the Oecophoridae as subfamily. Scythrididae adults are smallish to mid-sized moths, which when at rest appear teardrop-shaped. Selected genera Genera of Scythrididae (with some notable species also listed) include: * '' Apostibes'' Walsingham, 1907 * '' Areniscythris'' Powell, 1976 * '' Asymmetrura'' Landry, 1991 * '' Bactrianoscythris'' Passerin d'Entrèves & Roggero, 2009 * '' Catascythris'' * '' Coleophorides'' Amsel, 1935 * '' Enolmis'' Duponchel, 1845 * '' Episcythris'' Amsel, 1939 * '' Eretmocera'' Zeller, 1852 * '' Erigethes'' Walsingham, 1907 * '' Falkovitshella'' Passerin d'Entrèves & Roggero, 2007 * '' Haploscythris'' Viette, 1956 * '' Mapsidius'' Walsingham, 1907 * '' Necrothalassia'' Amsel, 1935 * '' Neoscythris'' Landry, 1991 * '' ...

''Scythris scopolella'' is a species of moth of the family Scythrididae. It is found from the Iberian Peninsula, north to Belgium, east to Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Italy. It is also found in Bulgaria and on Crete. Adults are on wing from May to the end of June. They are active during daytime. The larvae feed on ''Tortula muralis ''Tortula muralis'', commonly known as wall- screw moss, is a species of moss in the family Pottiaceae. ''T. muralis'' is found throughout the world.

Scythris
''Scythris'' is a genus of gelechioid moths. It is the type genus of the flower moth family, which is sometimes included as a subfamily in the ''Xyloryctidae'', or together with these merged into the Oecophoridae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1825. It is the largest genus of flower moths, and as such might not be fully monophyletic with regard to some very small or monotypic genera placed in the same family. In addition, new species of ''Scythris'' continue to be discovered and described.FE (2009), and see references in Savela (2008) Selected species Species groups The species of ''Scythris'' have been divided among several groups, which may or may not be monophyletic; those that are may – provided they are closely enough related to the type species '' S. limbella'' – be considered subgenera. There is a considerable number of species whose exact relationships are hitherto elusive. Some have been placed in a "Monospecific species group" of their o ...
