Semnostoma Barathrota
''Semnostoma barathrota'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1918. It is found in Assam, India. The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous with a whitish blotch along the basal fourth of the dorsum and a grey-whitish blotch, white on the anterior edge, extending along the posterior half of the dorsum and termen to near the apex, widest above the tornus, where it reaches three-fourths of the way across the wing, including a fine black longitudinal line in the disc in the posterior portion, its posterior end occupied by a blotch of grey suffusion. There is an oblique blue-leaden-metallic line from four-fifths of the costa to just beyond this blotch. The apical area beyond this is brownish, with three whitish costal dots separated by dark fuscous, the last edging a black pre-apical dot. The hindwings are bluish grey.Meyrick, Edward (1916–1923)''Exotic Microlepidoptera''. 2 (4): 128. References Moths described i ...

Semnostoma Leucochalca
''Semnostoma leucochalca'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1918. It is found in Assam, India. 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 14 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, variably marked with white and brassy yellow, especially a number of irregular confluent markings occupying the dorsal area beneath the fold, and a dark blotch on the costa at one-third which is more or less outlined by irregular markings, but all very variable. There are three or four white marks posteriorly converging to a small black subapical spot edged anteriorly and above with silvery. The hindwings are light grey.Meyrick, Edward (1916–1923)''Exotic Microlepidoptera''. 2 (4): 127. References Moths described in 1918 P ...

Semnostoma Poecilopa
''Semnostoma poecilopa'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1918. It is found in Assam, India. 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 13 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, with the tips of the scales whitish, forming a fine striation. The basal area is suffusedly streaked or spotted with brassy yellow and there is an oblique white spot beneath the fold at one-fourth, as well as an oblique white streak from the middle of the dorsum to the fold, followed by a patch of brassy-yellow suffusion. A white dot or mark is found beneath the middle of the costa, and three or four in the disc beyond the middle and there is an elongate white spot in the disc at three-fourths, separated by a blackish mark from an el ...

Semnostoma Scatebrosa
''Semnostoma scatebrosa'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1918. It is found in Assam, India. The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous with a broad white dorsal stripe, irregularly sprinkled with dark fuscous, from the base to near the tornus, the upper edge angularly emarginated before the middle, then irregular, projecting on the end of the cell, posteriorly narrowed and suffused. There is a short leaden dash above the tornus and a leaden-metallic streak along the upper part of the termen. There is also a black subapical dot. The hindwings are grey.Meyrick, Edward (1916–1923)''Exotic Microlepidoptera''. 2 (4): 128. References Moths described in 1918 Pexicopiini Taxa named by Edward Meyrick {{Apatetrinae-stub ...

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 ...
