Stenoma Sustentata
''Stenoma sustentata'' is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Colombia. The wingspan is about 26 mm. The forewings are light brownish ochreous with the markings rather dark violet fuscous. There is a suffused streak from the base of the costa to the middle of the dorsum, where it runs into an irregular suffused fascia from the apex widening downwards and covering the posterior half of the dorsum, leaving a narrow suffused terminal streak of ground colour. There is also a terminal series of dark dots and a small suffused spot beneath the costal edge in the middle, where an oblique series of two or three cloudy dots runs to the middle of the posterior fascia. The hindwings are dark grey. References Moths described in 1925 Taxa named by Edward Meyrick Stenoma {{Stenoma-stub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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] |
