Pubitelphusa Latifasciella
''Pubitelphusa latifasciella'', the white-banded telphusa moth, is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alabama (We dare defend our rights) , anthem = "Alabama (state song), Alabama" , image_map = Alabama in United States.svg , seat = Montgomery, Alabama, Montgomery , LargestCity = Huntsville, Alabama, Huntsville , LargestCounty = Baldwin County, Al ..., Arkansas, Florida, Georgia (U.S. state), Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York (state), New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Ontario, Quebec, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The forewings are dark brown with a broad white fascia just before the middle of the wing, widest on the dorsal margin, and margined in front by two small raised tufts of white scales, one of which is above, and another beneath the fold. Behind the fascia is a tra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pubitelphusa Trigonalis
''Pubitelphusa trigonalis'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Korea. 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 14-14.5 mm. The forewings have a dark grey basal fascia within one-fourth of the length and a creamy white antemedian band on the anterior half, with two brownish scale-tufts on the posterior half. The median fascia is dark fuscous, with several small scale-tufts on its surface. The costa has a small ochreous spot at the middle and a large, triangular ochreous patch at three-fourths. The area beyond the medial fascia is densely speckled with dark fuscous scales centrally and there are ochreous scales scattered along the inner margin beyond the tornus. The hindwings are grey.

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 ...
