Pseudotelphusa Decuriella
''Pseudotelphusa istrella'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Turkey, Italy, Slovakia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, North Macedonia, Greece and Ukraine. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan of ... is about 12.5 mm. The forewings are white, divided in four fields by three brown bands. The hindwings are whitish-grey. References Moths described in 1866 Pseudotelphusa {{Litini-stub ...

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. The Lepidoptera: Form, function and diversity. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press; 404 p. Although the rules for distinguishing moths from butterflies are not well establishe ...

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 While these figures are certainly outdated, due to the many revisions to superfamily Gelechioidea and new descriptions of twirler moths, they still serve to show the enormous biodiversity contained in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 ...

Pseudotelphusa Fugitivella
''Carpatolechia fugitivella'', the elm groundling, is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in almost all of Europe (except Portugal, Croatia and Bulgaria), Turkey, the Caucasus, Mongolia, southern Siberia, the Russian Far East and Korea. It is also found in Canada, where it has been recorded from Ontario and Quebec. The habitat consists of woodland, parks, gardens and hedgerows. The wingspan is 11–15 mm.The head is whitish, grey sprinkled.Terminal joint of palpi longer than second. Forewings are grey, irrorated with blackish ; suffused blackish spots on costa near base and before and beyond middle ; a blackish streak along fold, sometimes interrupted into two or three spots ; two black dots transversely placed in disc at 2/3 ; a pale angulated fascia at 3/4 sometimes indicated by darker anterior suffusion. Hindwings are grey.The larva is light green, above reddish-tinged ; dots black ; head and plate of 2 light brown. Adults have been recorded on wing from June to ...
