Thiotricha Rhodopa
''Thiotricha rhodopa'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1908. It is found in Assam, India. The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous with the base of the costa slenderly blackish and with a dark fuscous streak at the first, thick but rapidly attenuated rising from the dorsum near the base and running in a curve near the costa to the disc at four-fifths and a similar less curved streak from the middle of the dorsum, posteriorly coincident with the first. Between and beyond these, the dorsal half of the wing is mainly occupied by two white blotches and there is an acutely inwards angulated dark fuscous mark above the tornus, and a longitudinal mark beneath the costa opposite it. The apical area beyond these is mostly suffused with white, with a black dot beneath the apex. The hindwings are light grey, thinly scaled anteriorly.

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 ...
