Wyoma
''Wyoma'' is a small genus of the fungus moth family (biology), family, Tineidae. Therein, it belongs to the subfamily Tineinae. It is probably fairly closely related to the type genus of its family and subfamily, ''Tinea (moth), Tinea'', and can be most easily separated by the wing venation – in ''Tinea'', two veins in each wing arise from a common stalk, whereas none do in ''Wyoma''.Clarke (1986) Description The head is bulging and has a rough, scaly and hairy surface, but the well-developed proboscis is devoid of scales. The labial palp, labial palps droop; their second segment is longer than the third and has a clump of stout bristles at the tip, facing outside. The maxillary palps are long and usually carried tucked in. The antenna (biology), antenna are unbranched and about as long as the forewing; the Antenna (biology), scape bears a flimsy comb. The forewings are narrow and have a rounded tip and 12 separate veins. Of these, vein 1b is simple, 2 starts near the an ...
