Thyrsostoma Pylartis
''Palumbina pylartis'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1908. It is found in Assam, India. The wingspan is 11–13 mm. The forewings are ochreous whitish, with the markings dark slaty grey. There is a slender basal fascia, sometimes interrupted and there are two irregular zigzag sometimes interrupted lines from the costa at one-sixth and two-fifths, confluent towards the dorsum. Inwardly oblique fasciae are found at the middle and three-fourths, the first narrow, the second broader, sometimes not reaching the dorsum and often connected by a line in the disc. There is also a small spot or bar just before the apex. The hindwings are light grey, darker in females, thinly scaled towards the base.

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] |
