Homoeoprepes Felisae
''Homoeoprepes felisae'' is a moth in the family Elachistidae. It was described by Clarke in 1962. It is found in Colombia Colombia (, ; ), officially the Republic of Colombia, is a country in South America with insular regions in North America—near Nicaragua's Caribbean coast—as well as in the Pacific Ocean. The Colombian mainland is bordered by the Car .... The wingspan is 24–27 mm. The forewings are fuscous with slight reddish violet luster. There is a small ochreous white spot at the apical fourth. There are seven groups of raised scales at the apical fourth. The hindwings are grey with a brassy hue. References [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Homoeoprepes Sympatrica
''Homoeoprepes sympatrica'' is a moth in the family Elachistidae. It was described by Clarke in 1962.

The Colombian mainland is bordered by the Car .... The wingspan is 18–19 mm. The forewings are fuscous, overlaid by rust red. At the base of the fold with a small black spot and a similar spot at the basal fifth on the fold. Similar black spots of raised scales are found at two-fifths, in the cell and at the end of the cell. These spots are surrounded by red and ochreous scales.

Homoeoprepes Trochiloides
''Homoeoprepes trochiloides'' is a moth in the family Elachistidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1909. It is found in Costa Rica Costa Rica (, ; ; literally "Rich Coast"), officially the Republic of Costa Rica ( es, República de Costa Rica), is a country in the Central American region of North America, bordered by Nicaragua to the north, the Caribbean Sea to the no .... The wingspan is about 25 mm. The forewings are iridescent purplish, or bluish, grey, smeared with dark ferruginous, which becomes rich chestnut-brown in some lights, especially towards the apex. This dark shading commences at the base of the costa, where it forms an elongate patch of diffused scaling, scarcely separated from a large median blotch commencing near the middle of the base, following the cell almost to its outer extremity and diffused upward to the costa and downward into the middle of the fold. There is a patch of partly raised chestnut scales on the cell at one-third from the b ... [...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 ...

Elachistidae
The Elachistidae (grass-miner moths) are a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Some authors lump about 3,300 species in eight subfamilies here, but this arrangement almost certainly results in a massively paraphyletic and completely unnatural assemblage, united merely by symplesiomorphies retained from the first gelechioid moths. In fact, most of these moths appear to be either closer to the Oecophorinae and are hence nowadays usually included in the Oecophoridae ( Depressariinae, " Deuterogoniinae", Hypertrophinae, Stenomatinae and perhaps the enigmatic '' Aeolanthes''), or constitute quite basal lineages of gelechioids, neither closely related to '' Elachista'' nor to '' Oecophora'', and hence best treated as independent families within the Gelechioidea ( Agonoxenidae, Ethmiidae). The genus '' Coelopoeta'' is sometimes still placed here, but probably belongs in the Oecophorinae. Consequently, the Elachistidae are essentially identical to the subfamily ...
