Palaeomicra
''Sabatinca'' is a genus of small primitive metallic moths in the family Micropterigidae. '' Palaeomicra'' and '' Micropardalis'' were both established as subgenera of ''Sabatinca'', but were both raised to generic level by Joël Minet in 1985. However, in 2014 both these genera, '' Palaeomicra'' and '' Micropardalis,'' were recognised by George Gibbs as synonyms of ''Sabatinca.'' Extinct species in this genus are known from the Cretaceous Burmese amber.

Sabatinca Doroxena
''Sabatinca doroxena'' is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae. It is endemic to the North Island of New Zealand. This small moth has a colourful forewing pattern with stripes and dots evident. It has been hypothesised that the forewing pattern is intended to resemble a jumping spider in order to allow the adult moth to escape predation. Adults of this species are on the wing from the beginning of September until mid January. It prefers damp but sunny habitat in deep forest, at the forest edge or in open shrubland. Larvae feed on foliose liverwort species including on '' Heteroscyphus normalis''. Adults of this species have been located at the blossoms of flowering Cordyline and Ranunculus species. Taxonomy It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1888 using a specimen collected in the Waitākere Ranges in Kauri forest in December and was originally named ''Palaeomicra doroxena''. In 1912 Meyrick placed this species within the genus ''Micropardalis.'' Both Georg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sabatinca Chalcophanes
''Sabatinca chalcophanes'' is a moth of the family Micropterigidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand and is found in the North Island apart from Northland and in the South Island apart from in the east, south of Queen Charlotte Sound. The adults of this species are on the wing from November to April and as a result of this long period it has been hypothesised that this species has two broods. The preferred habitat of this species is in damp lowland forest. The larval host species are foliose liverwort species including ''Hymenophyton flabellatum.'' Taxonomy This species was described by Edward Meyrick in 1885 using material collected at "Makatoku" (likely a misspelling of Makotuku), in the Hawkes Bay, in March and named ''Palaeomicra chalcophanes''. Meyrick went on to give a fuller description of the species published in 1886. In 1912 Meyrick wrongly synonymised ''S. chalcophanes'' with '' S. incongruella'' which subsequently caused confusion until the error was rectified ...

Sabatinca Chrysargyra
''Sabatinca chrysargyra'' is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1886 and is endemic to New Zealand. It can be found from Franz Josef Glacier / Kā Roimata o Hine Hukatere south but only on the western side of the South Island. Adults are on the wing from the beginning of October until the middle of January. Larvae likely feed on foliose liverworts and have been found on species in the genus ''Plagiochila''. The adult moths live in a range of habitats preferring sunny open spaces in forests or snow-tussock grasslands that can range in altitude from near sea level up to 1,230 m. This species is very similar in appearance to ''Sabatinca aemula'' and dissection of genitalia is required to distinguish between the two species. Taxonomy This species was described by Edward Meyrick in 1885 named ''Palaeomicra chrysargyra'' using a specimen collected in December at Lake Wakatipu at an altitude of 1100 ft. Meyrick went ...

Micropterigidae
Micropterigoidea is the superfamily of "mandibulate archaic moths", all placed in the single family Micropterigidae, containing currently about twenty living genera. They are considered the most primitive extant lineage of lepidoptera (Kristensen, 1999). The name comes from the Greek for ''mikros'', little and ''pterux'', a wing. The fossil record of the group goes back to the middle-late Jurassic with the earliest known species being '' Auliepterix'' from the Karabastau Formation in Kazakhstan.

Sabatinca Quadrijuga
''Sabatinca quadrijuga'' is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand and is found in the Dunedin area and in Southland. The range of ''S. quadrijuga'' overlaps with the range of '' S. caustica.'' ''S. quadrijuga'' was first scientifically described by Edward Meyrick in 1912. As a result of its predominantly black forewings this species looks similar to a small caddisfly. The adults of this species are on the wing from September to November. Larvae feed on leafy liverwort species and the adults likely feed on fern spores or sedge pollen. The species prefers to live in well lit but damp mossy habitats. The nearest relative of ''S. quadrijuga'' is '' S. aurantissima.'' Taxonomy This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1912 using a specimen collected by Alfred Philpott in Invercargill. The holotype specimen is held at the Natural History Museum, London. Description Meyrick described the species as follows: The f ...

Sabatinca Pluvialis
''Sabatinca pluvialis'' is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and is only known from Secretary Island. Adults of this species are on the wing from the middle of December until the middle of January. The larval host species is the liverwort '' Pseudomarsupidium piliferum''. This species is as "Data Deficient" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System. Taxonomy This species was first described by George Gibbs in 2014. The male holotype specimen was collected by Gibbs at Grono Spur on Secretary Island and is held in the New Zealand Arthropod Collection. Description Gibbs described the species as follows: As at 2014 the female of this species is unknown. Distribution This species is endemic to New Zealand and is only known from Secretary Island in Fiordland. It has the most restrictive range of the known species of ''Sabatinca'' in New Zealand.

Sabatinca Lucilia
''Sabatinca lucilia'' is a species of moth in the family Micropterigidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and is found in the top half of the North Island. The adults of this species are on the wing from the end of November until the beginning of March. The larvae of this species likely feed on foliose liverwort species with the adults likely feeding on fern spores or sedge pollen. Adults have been found on a sunny moss-covered clay bank. The species can be found in multiple forest types such as kauri, kanuka and Nothofagus and prefers to inhabit damp fern covered banks Taxonomy This species was described by Charles Edwin Clarke in 1920 using a specimen collected via electric light at Waitomo Hotel and another collected at Kauri Gully in Auckland. The latter specimen was designated by George Gibbs as the lectotype specimen and is held at the Auckland War Memorial Museum. Description Clarke described the species as follows: In 1923 Alfred Philpott studied the wing venatio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sabatinca Incongruella
''Sabatinca incongruella'' is a species of moth of the family Micropterigidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and is found only in the northern parts of the South Island. It is a day flying moth and is on the wing from mid January until late February. The larvae of this species feed on liverworts and the adult moths feed on the spores of fern species in the genus ''Pneumatopteris.'' This species can be confused with '' S. chalcophanes'' as it is very similar in appearance''.'' Taxonomy This species was first described by Francis Walker in 1863. Walker described the species from specimens collected by T. R. Oxley, a photographer and collector who lived in Nelson. Specimens collected by Oxley and forwarded to the British Museum (now held at the Natural History Museum, London) were mislabeled as being collected in Auckland. It is therefore presumed that the male lectotype specimen, held at the Natural History Museum, London, was collected in Nelson. Description Walker describe ...

Sabatinca Ianthina
''Sabatinca ianthina'' is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae. It was described by Alfred Philpott in 1921. It is endemic to New Zealand. This species can be found on both the North and the South Islands from the Hawkes Bay down to Westland. The adults of this species are on the wing from the end of September until the middle of December. Although this species resembles '' Zealandopterix zonodoxa, S. ianthina'' is a larger moth and the range of the two species only overlaps in White Pine Bush Scenic Reserve in the Hawke’s Bay. Taxonomy This species was described by Alfred Philpott in 1921 from specimens collected at Dun Mountain near Nelson. Adults were found on a rocky slope covered with various species of mosses and liverworts. They were resting on ''Gahnia'' species, although it seems this species does not have any closer affinities to this plant. The holotype specimen is held at the New Zealand Arthropod Collection.
