Pterophoridae
The Pterophoridae or plume moths are a family of Lepidoptera with unusually modified wings. Though they belong to the Apoditrysia like the larger moths and the butterflies, unlike these they are tiny and were formerly included among the assemblage called "microlepidoptera". Description and ecology The forewings of plume moths usually consist of two curved spars with more or less bedraggled bristles trailing behind. This resembles the closely related Alucitidae (many-plumed moths) at first glance, but the latter have a greater number of symmetrical plumes. The hindwings are similarly constructed, but have three spars. This unorthodox structure does not prevent flight. A few genera have normal lepidopteran wings. The usual resting posture is with the wings extended laterally and narrowly rolled up. Often they resemble a piece of dried grass, and may pass unnoticed by potential predators even when resting in exposed situations in daylight. Some species have larvae which are stem- ...

Platyptilia Gonodactyla
''Platyptilia gonodactyla'', also known as the triangle plume, is a moth of the family Pterophoridae found in Palearctic, temperate Asia and Europe. It was Species description, first described by the Austria, Austrian entomologists, Michael Denis & Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775. Distribution This species can be found in the Palearctic realm. It has a widespread distribution in Britain. Habitat These moths inhabit open, grassy areas, waste ground, meadows and spruce forest edge. Description The wingspan is 22–28 mm. They have pale brown or grayish wings with chestnut coloured markings towards the tips. This species is very similar to ''Platyptilia nemoralis'', and ''Platyptilia calodactyla'' but it shows a very small scaletooth at the dorsum of the third lobe. The caterpillars are about six millimeters long at the end of March. They have a glossy black head and black mouthparts, prothoracal shield and thoracic legs. The body is yellow, with a broad reddish back. Biology ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Platyptilia Calodactyla
''Platyptilia calodactyla'' is a moth of the family Pterophoridae found in Asia and Europe. It was first described by the Austrian entomologists, Michael Denis & Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775. Description The wingspan is 18–25 mm. ''Platyptilia calodactyla'' differs from ''Platyptilia gonodactyla'' as follows : forewings with termen distinctly less sinuate, apical spot in cilia lighter and apex appearing less falcate, colour rather darker and more ochreous tinged, less strigulated with white, especially posteriorly. Biology Adults are single brooded and emerge in June and July. The larvae feed in the stem of European goldenrod (''Solidago virgaurea''), ''Senecio nemorensis'', heath groundsel ('' Senecio sylvaticus'') and leopard's bane (''Doronicum'' species), sometimes causing wilting of the leaves. Distribution It is found in most of Europe, except Portugal, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine and Greece. It has also been recorded from Iran Iran, officially the ...

Platyptilia Campsiptera
''Platyptilia campsiptera'' is a species of moth in the family Pterophoridae. This species is endemic to New Zealand. This species has been classified as Nationally Vulnerable by the Department of Conservation. Taxonomy ''P. campsiptera'' was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1907 from a specimen collected by George Vernon Hudson in the Humboldt Range at approximately 1100m. In 1928 Hudson also described and illustrated the species. The male holotype is held at the Natural History Museum, London. Description Meyrick described the species as follows: Hudson noted that when resting ''P. campsiptera'' holds its forewing second digit downwards and almost at right angles to the first digit. Distribution It is endemic to New Zealand. As well as at its type locality, the species has been collected at Ben Lomond, Andersons Bay and Colac Bay. It has also been collected at McKinnon Pass.
