Idioglossa
''Idioglossa'' is a genus of moths of the family Batrachedridae. Taxonomy The genus was created by Thomas de Grey, 6th Baron Walsingham in 1881 to house the new species '' Idioglossa bigemma''. Because Lord Walsingham had created a monotypic genus at the time, the species ''I. bigemma'' is considered the type species by monotypy. The next year, in 1882, Lord Walsingham proposed to rename the taxon as ''Idiostoma'', because he considered the name inappropriate, but by the rules of taxonomy this is considered unnecessary. The Australian entomologist Ian Francis Bell Common classified it in the subfamily Stathmopodinae of the family Oecophoridae in 1996. It was reclassified in the subfamily Batrachedrinae of the Batrachedridae by Kazuhiro Sugisima in 2000. Species The genus contains the following species: *'' Idioglossa argodora'' Meyrick, 1913 - southern India *'' Idioglossa bigemma'' Walsingham, 1881 **''Idioglossa bigemma'' ssp. ''bigemma'' - Southern Africa **''Idioglossa bi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Batrachedridae
The Batrachedridae are a small family of tiny moths. These are small, slender moths which rest with their wings wrapped tightly around their bodies. Taxonomy The taxonomy of this and related groups is often disputed. This group was first proposed as a taxonomic rank in 1876 by Hermann von Heinemann and Maximilian Ferdinand Wocke under the name Batrachedrae. Lord Walsingham used the name Batrachedridae in 1890. Ron Hodges decided to separate a number of new species he was describing in 1966 from ''Batrachedra'' in his new genus ''Chedra'', on the basis of the adult males possessing a "single, strong, apical spine on the ampulla" (also known as the harpe). ''Chedra'' then accommodated three species: two from North America and one from Chile. Hodges furthermore described two more related genera in this paper: ''Duospina'' and ''Ifeda''. These genera he all placed in the family Gelechioidea. In his 1978 treatment of the microlepidoptera of Hawaii, Elwood Zimmerman classified thi ...

Idioglossa Polliacola
''Idioglossa polliacola'' is a tiny species of moth of the family Batrachedridae. Taxonomy It was described as a new species and placed in the family Batrachedridae by Kazuhiro Sugisima and Yutaka Arita in 2000. Arita had studied the unknown species on and off for a number of decades before it was identified as a type of ''Idioglossa''. It is known from Japan, where it is quite abundant in the forests of Honshu. Description The wingspan is 8–9.7 mm. The fore-wings of this species are chrome-yellowish with four metallic greyish markings. Ecology The caterpillars use the Commelinaceae plant ''Pollia japonica'', a common, herbaceous, understory, ground-covering plant in Japanese woodlands, as a host plant. They feed on the undersides of the leaves, each caterpillar individually constructing an elaborate web of silken sheets held off the lower surface of the leaf by tiny pillars of its own frass Frass refers loosely to the more or less solid excreta of insects, a ...

Idioglossa Metallochrysa
''Idioglossa metallochrysa'' is a very small species of golden-metallic coloured moth of the family Batrachedridae living in a subtropical highland climate, at least in Australia, and of which the caterpillars feed on the plant ''Cheilocostus speciosus'', at least in Indonesia. Taxonomy It was first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1917 from three specimens collected in November on Tamborine Mountain in Queensland, Australia. They were apparently all female. There are three syntypes, two are kept at Australian National Insect Collection, and one at the Natural History Museum, London, courtesy of Edward Meyrick. The Australian entomologist Ian Francis Bell Common classified it in the subfamily Stathmopodinae of the family Oecophoridae in 1996. It was reclassified in the subfamily Batrachedrinae of the Batrachedridae by Kazuhiro Sugisima in 2000, based on more detailed examination of the genitalia.
