Parathectis Sordidula
''Parathectis sordidula'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1913. It is found in South Africa and Namibia. The wingspan is 6–8 mm. The forewings are ochreous whitish, variably tinged, sprinkled, or irrorated with grey. There is a grey elongated dot on the fold at one-fourth. The stigmata are small and dark grey, with one or two blackish scales, the plical very obliquely beyond the first discal. The hindwings are grey.

Parathectis Farinata
''Parathectis farinata'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1913. It is found in South Africa. The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are pale whitish ochreous, irregularly irrorated (sprinkled) with dark fuscous and with a patch of dark fuscous suffusion on the basal portion of the costa. The stigmata are suffused with dark fuscous, the plical obliquely before the first discal. The hindwings are pale whitish ochreous.

Gelechiidae
The Gelechiidae are a family of moths commonly referred to as twirler moths or gelechiid moths. They are the namesake family of the huge and little-studied superfamily Gelechioidea, and the family's taxonomy has been subject to considerable dispute. These are generally very small moths with narrow, fringed wings. The larvae of most species feed internally on various parts of their host plants, sometimes causing galls. Douglas-fir (''Pseudotsuga'') is a host plant common to many species of the family, particularly of the genus ''Chionodes'', which as a result is more diverse in North America than usual for Gelechioidea. By the late 20th century, over 900 genera with altogether more than 4,500 species were placed here, with about 650 genera known from North America alone. While these figures are certainly outdated, due to the many revisions to superfamily Gelechioidea and new descriptions of twirler moths, they still serve to show the enormous biodiversity contained in this import ...
