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 While these figures are certainly outdated, due to the many revisions to superfamily Gelechioidea and new descriptions of twirler moths, they still serve to show the enormous biodiversity contained in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 ...

Tuta Absoluta
''Tuta absoluta'' is a species of moth in family Gelechiidae known by the common names South American tomato pinworm, tomato leafminer, tomato pinworm and South American tomato moth. It is well known as a serious pest of tomato crops in Europe, Africa, western Asia and South and Central America, with larvae causing up to 100% loss if not effectively controlled. Naming history ''T. absoluta'' was originally described in 1917 by Edward Meyrick as ''Phthorimaea absoluta'', based on individuals collected from Huancayo (Peru). Later, the pest was reported as ''Gnorimoschema absoluta'', ''Scrobipalpula absoluta'' (Povolný), or ''Scrobipalpuloides absoluta'' (Povolný), but was finally described under the genus ''Tuta'' as ''T. absoluta'' by Povolný in 1994.< Biology [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
