Sarotorna Epipona
''Sarotorna epipona'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales and Western Australia. 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 16–18 mm. The forewings are grey with dark fuscous markings. There is a slender transverse sub-basal fascia and a transverse wedge from the mid-dorsum moderately broad at the base, narrowing to an apex just below one-third of the costa. There is also a moderate fascia from two-thirds of the costa to the tornus, suffused at the extremities. The hindwings are grey. References Moths described in 1902 Sarotorna {{Gelechiini-stub ...

Sarotorna Eridora
''Sarotorna eridora'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.

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 . The forewings are ochreous white with four moderate dark fuscous fasciae, the first subbasal, the second and third confluent on the costa in the middle, running to the middle of the dorsum and tornus respectively, the fourth from the costa before the apex to the termen. The hindwings are rather dark fuscous, lighter anteriorly. References Moths described in 1904 Sarotorna {{Gelechiini-stub ...

Sarotorna Mesoleuca
''Sarotorna mesoleuca'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales and Victoria. 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 . The forewings are dark golden-bronzy-fuscous with a rather broad white longitudinal streak above the middle from the base to the apex, posteriorly suffusedly dilated to reach the costa, the lower edge with irregular blackish indentations before and beyond the middle, the first triangular, the second rounded, representing the discal stigmata. The plical stigmata are elongate, suffused, blackish and very obliquely before the first discal. A rather broad dorsal streak of white suffusion is found from the base to the tornus, sometimes little marked. The hindwings are gr ...

Sarotorna Myrrhina
''Sarotorna myrrhina'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Turner in 1919. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland. 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 12–18 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous fuscous with white, ill-defined markings. There is a broad sub-basal fascia and a dorsal suffusion confluent with the fascia, as well as an ill-defined costal mark at one-third and a more distinct inwardly-oblique curved line from five-sixths of the costa to the tornus. The hindwings are pale-grey. References Moths described in 1919 Sarotorna {{Gelechiini-stub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sarotorna Stenodes
''Sarotorna stenodes'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Turner in 1936. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.

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 mm. The forewings are white with dark fuscous markings. There is an oblique fascia from beneath one-third of the costa to above the base of the dorsum and another from two-thirds of the costa to the mid-dorsum. A third is found from two-thirds of the costa to the tornus. There is also an apical blotch. The hindwings are pale grey. References Moths described in 1936 Sarotorna {{Gelechiini-stub ...

Edward Meyrick
Edward Meyrick (25 November 1854, in Ramsbury – 31 March 1938, at Thornhanger, Marlborough) was an English schoolmaster and amateur entomologist. He was an expert on microlepidoptera and some consider him one of the founders of modern microlepidoptera systematics. Life and work Edward Meyrick came from a Welsh clerical family and was born in Ramsbury on the Kennet to a namesake father. He was educated at Marlborough College and Trinity College, Cambridge. He actively pursued his hobby during his schooling, and one colleague stated in 1872 that Meyrick "has not left a lamp, a paling, or a tree unexamined in which a moth could possibly, at any stage of its existence, lie hid." Meyrick began publishing notes on microlepidopterans in 1875, but when in December, 1877 he gained a post at The King's School, Parramatta, New South Wales, there were greater opportunities for indulging his interest. He stayed in Australia for ten years (from 1877 until the end of 1886) working at Syd ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...
