Oxyptilus Parvidactyla
''Oxyptilus parvidactyla'', also known as the small plume, is a moth of the family Pterophoridae found in Africa, Asia and Europe. It was first described by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1811. Description The wingspan is . The forewings are dark reddish-fuscous, somewhat white-sprinkled. There two distinct white bars on the segments.

The hindwings are dark fuscous, the third segment dark reddish-fuscous, with an apical patch of black scales in upper cilia and a whitish spot in apical cilia. There is a large, black, apical dorsal scale-tooth . This moth is similar looking to other related species and can only be safely identified by dissection, or by rearing the larvae on known foodplants. Biology Adults are on wing from May to August in western Europe and there is one generation per year. Early instar larvae feed on the young leaves of '' Hieracium'' species, including mouse-ear hawkweed (''Hieracium p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
