Macrosaccus
''Macrosaccus'' is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae. Etymology The generic name is derived from the ancient Greek ''μακρο''- (meaning long) and ''σάκκος'' (meaning bag) in reference to the elongate saccus in the male genitalia. Species There are six species currently recognized: *''Macrosaccus coursetiae'' Eiseman & Donald R. Davis (entomologist), Davis, 2017 *''Macrosaccus gliricidius'' Davis, 2011 *''Macrosaccus morrisella'' (Asa Fitch, Fitch, 1859) *''Macrosaccus neomexicanus'' Davis, 2011 *''Macrosaccus robiniella'' (James Brackenridge Clemens, Clemens, 1859) *''Macrosaccus uhlerella'' (Fitch, 1859) References Lithocolletinae Gracillarioidea genera {{Lithocolletinae-stub Taxa named by Donald R.

Macrosaccus Gliricidius
''Macrosaccus gliricidius'' is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Central America (such as Honduras) and the West Indies (such as Guadeloupe). The length of the forewings is 2.2–2.6 mm. The larvae feed on ''Gliricidia sepium''. They leaf miner, mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine begins as an elongate serpentine track which abruptly enlarges to an elongate-oval, whitish blotch located on either the upper or lower side of the leaflet. When present on the under side, the blotch mines usually develop along the midrib. Only the upper side blotch mines occurred directly on top of the midrib. Etymology The species name is derived from the generic name of its host, ''Gliricidia''.

Macrosaccus Uhlerella
''Macrosaccus uhlerella'' is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Illinois, Missouri, New York, Colorado and Texas in the United States. The wingspan is 6-6.5 mm. The larvae feed on ''Amorpha'' species (including ''Amorpha fruticosa'') and ''Robinia'' species. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mature mine is an elongate-oval, whitish blotch located on the underside of the leaf usually near the edge of the leaflet. Eventually, as the mine becomes tentiform, the leaf edge is slightly curled.

Macrosaccus Morrisella
''Macrosaccus morrisella'' (hog peanut moth) is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. In North America it is known from Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec, south and west to Texas and Colorado. The wingspan is 6–7 mm. The larvae feed on ''Amphicarpaea bracteata'', '' Strophostyles leiosperma'', and soybean (''Glycine max''). They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine begins as an elongate serpentine track on the underside of the leaflet. This enlarges to an elongate-oval, whitish blotch which eventually becomes strongly tentiform.

Macrosaccus Neomexicanus
''Macrosaccus neomexicanus'' is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from the south-western United States in the states of Arizona and New Mexico. The length of the forewings is 2.7–3.5 mm. The larvae feed on ''Robinia neomexicana''. They mine Mine, mines, miners or mining may refer to: Extraction or digging * Miner, a person engaged in mining or digging *Mining, extraction of mineral resources from the ground through a mine Grammar *Mine, a first-person English possessive pronoun ... the leaves of their host plant. The mine begins as a relatively short, serpentine track which enlarges to an elongate-oval, whitish blotch located on the underside of the leaflet. As the larva develops and begins laying down silk, the mine becomes strongly tentiform, causing the upper surface to roll over.

Macrosaccus Robiniella
''Macrosaccus robiniella'' is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. Distribution It is native to and widely distributed in North America, but is an introduced species in Europe, where it was first reported near Basel, Switzerland, in 1983. Later, it was also reported in France, Germany, northern Italy (1988), Austria (1989), and Slovakia (1992). It spread gradually through Austria, reaching Hungary in the mid 1990s. Adult description The wingspan is 5.5 to 6.5 mm. There are two to three generations per year. Life history The larvae feed on ''Robinia pseudoacacia'', ''Robinia viscosa'' and ''Robinia hispida''. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine begins as an elongate serpentine track which enlarges to an elongate-oval, whitish blotch located on one side of the midrib and usually on the underside of the leaflet. Eventually the mine becomes slightly tentiform due to the silk laid down by the later instar larvae. There are five larval instars. The earliest insta ...

Gracillarioidea Genera
Gracillarioidea is a large superfamily containing four families of insects in the order Lepidoptera. These generally small moths are miners in plant tissue as caterpillars. There are about 113 described genera distributed worldwide, the most commonly encountered of which are leaf miners in the family Gracillariidae Gracillariidae is an important family of insects in the order Lepidoptera and the principal family of leaf miners that includes several economic, horticultural or recently invasive pest species such as the horse-chestnut leaf miner, ''Cameraria ....

Asa Fitch
Asa Fitch (February 24, 1809 – April 8, 1879) was a natural historian and entomologist from Salem, New York. His early studies were of both natural history and medicine, which he studied at the newly formed Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, graduating in 1827. However, in 1838 he decided to start studying agriculture and entomology. In 1838 he began to collect and study insects for New York state. In 1854 he became the first professional entomologist of New York State Agricultural Society (commissioned by the State of New York). This made him the first occupational entomologist in the United States. His vast studies of many insects helped scientists to solve some of the problems of crop damage caused by insects. Many of his notebooks are now the property of the Smithsonian Institution. Fitch also discovered the rodent botfly ''Cuterebra emasculator'' in 1856. He died April 8, 1879, in Salem, New York.

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.
