Archipini
The Archipini are a tribe of tortrix moths. Since many genera of these are not yet assigned to tribes, the genus list presented here is provisional. Diversity Archipini is the largest tribe in the Tortricinae subfamily, containing over 1,600 described species in about 150 genera. Distribution Archipini are found in all ecoregions, although there are only few species in the Neotropical realm. Biology Many of the economically important pests among the tortrix moths belong to this tribe, for example the Light brown apple moth and the spruce budworms. The larvae are often polyphagous.

Pyrgotis Transfixa
''Pyrgotis transfixa'' is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is endemic to New Zealand. It is classified as "At Risk, Naturally Uncommon" by the Department of Conservation. Taxonomy This species was first described by Edward Meyrick from a specimen collected by George Hudson at Gollan's Valley, Wellington in December. Meyrick named the species ''Catamacta transfixa''. George Hudson described and illustrated this species under that name in his 1928 book ''The Butterflies and Moths of New Zealand''. In 1971 John S. Dugdale placed this species within the genus ''Pyrgotis''. The holotype specimen of this species is held at the Natural History Museum, London. Description Meyrick described this species as follows: Distribution This species is endemic to New Zealand. This species is only known from Wellington.

Pyrgotis Pyramidias
''Pyrgotis pyramidias'' is a species of moth in the family Tortricidae. It is endemic to New Zealand. It is classified as "At Risk, Naturally Uncommon" by the Department of Conservation. This species is regarded as having two 'forms' although doubt has been expressed whether these are the same species. Taxonomy ''P. pyramidias'' was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1901 from a specimen collected by Alfred Philpott in Invercargill. George Hudson described and illustrated this species in his 1928 book ''The Butterflies and Moths of New Zealand''. The holotype specimen is held at the Natural History Museum, London. The holotype represents ''P. pyramidias'' sensu stricto. Description Meyrick originally described the species as follows: The holotype specimen described above is typical of the species from the type locality in that it has a drab appearance and is smaller than the form of the species existing in silver beech forest.

Pyrgotis Plinthoglypta
''Pyrgotis plinthoglypta'' is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is Endemism, endemic to New Zealand and is found throughout the whole country. The preferred habitat of this species is native forest. The larvae of this species feeds on rimu leaves from under a silken web. It pupates in loose cocoons amongst rimu foliage. Adults are on the wing from October to May and are night flying. They are attracted to light and can be collected by beating their host tree. The adult insect resembles a small dried fragment of rimu foliage when at rest. Taxonomy This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1892 using a specimen collected in Wellington by George Hudson. George Hudson (entomologist), George Hudson, in 1928, discussed and illustrated this species in his book ''The butterflies and moths of New Zealand'' under the name ''Capua plinthoglypta''. In 1988 J. S. Dugdale confirmed that this species is in the genus ''Pyrgotis''. The male holotype specimen is held at t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
