Tinea Dubiella
''Tinea dubiella'' is a species of moth belonging to the family Tineidae. It is native to Europe. This species has been recorded in New Zealand and is regarded as being established in that country. Description Head with rust red hair.Forewing dark grey-brown with weak black spots, usually at least two and a hyaline spot near the base.Hindwings light grey. Difficult to distinguish from '' Tinea columbariella'', ''Tinea pellionella'' and ''Tinea svenssoni'' but the genitalia are diagnostic.

Leiden : Brill Biology The moth flies at night from July-August. It is found indoors including in barns and stables. The larva is whitish with a reddish-brown head and feeds on wool, hides, furs, feathers, insect collections, etc. References *Gaedike,R. 2019 Tineidae II : Myrmecozelinae, Perissomasticinae, Tineinae, Hiero ...

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.

Tineidae
Tineidae is a family of moths in the order Lepidoptera described by Pierre André Latreille in 1810. Collectively, they are known as fungus moths or tineid moths. The family contains considerably more than 3,000 species in more than 300 genera. Most of the tineid moths are small or medium-sized, with wings held roofwise over the body when at rest. They are particularly common in the Palaearctic, but many occur elsewhere, and some are found very widely as introduced species. Tineids are unusual among Lepidoptera as the larvae of only a very small number of species feed on living plants, the majority feeding on fungi, lichens, and detritus. The most familiar members of the family are the clothes moths, which have adapted to feeding on stored fabrics and led to their reputation as a household pest. The most widespread of such species are the common clothes moth (''Tineola bisselliella''), the case-bearing clothes moth (''Tinea pellionella''), and the carpet moth (''Trichophaga tap ...

Tinea Columbariella
''Tinea columbariella'' is a moth belonging to the family Tineidae. The species was first described by Wocke in 1877. It has a cosmopolitan distribution. Description Wingspan 9-15 mm. Head with rust brown hair. Antennae just over half the front wing length. The forewings dark grey-brown with a black spot on the disc and a basal hyaline spot. Hindwings light grey. Difficult to distinguish from ''Tinea pellionella'', ''Tinea dubiella'' and ''Tinea svenssoni'' but the genitalia are diagnostic. Biology Flies at night (and comes to light) from June to August. Found indoors in lofts, barns, stables and the like. The case-bearing larva is whitish with a dark head and feeds on nesting material or feathers in birds nests.

Tinea Pellionella
''Tinea pellionella'', the case-bearing clothes moth, is a species of tineoid moth in the family Tineidae, the fungus moths. This species has a cosmopolitan distribution, occurring nearly worldwide.Cheema, P. S. (1956).Studies on the bionomics of the case-bearing clothes moth, ''Tinea pellionella'' (L.)''Bulletin of Entomological Research'' 47(1), 167-82. Taxonomy Being a widespread species and often affiliated with humans, ''T. pellionella'' was among the first moths to be scientifically described in the modern sense. At that time most moths were included in a single genus ''"Phalaena"'', but ''Tinea'' was already recognized as a distinct subgenus. Some later researchers who studied this moth erroneously believed they had discovered populations formerly unknown to science and described them as new species, but today these are all included within ''T. pellionella''. Obsolete scientific names for this moth thus may be encountered in the literature, and include: It is the type sp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tinea Svenssoni
''Tinea svenssoni'' is a moth of the family Tineidae. It is found in northern Europe (Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Baltic region), Russia, as well as North America where has been recorded from Québec. The wingspan is . The forewings are uniform golden brown with a black spot in the distal third and a translucent bare patch near the costa at the base. Difficult to distinguish from ''Tinea pellionella'' , '' Tinea columbariella'' and '' Tinea dubiella'' but the genitalia are diagnostic. The larvae live in bird nests, typically in the nests of cavity-nesting species, such as tits and owls.
