Cosmet Moth

	Cosmet Moth The Cosmopterigidae are a family of insects (cosmet moths) in the order Lepidoptera. These are small moths with narrow wings whose tiny larvae feed internally on the leaves, seeds and stems of their host plants. About 1500 species are described. The taxonomic family is most diverse in the Australian and Pacific region with about 780 species. Several genera formerly included here have been moved to the Agonoxeninae. Taxonomy The family consists of four subfamilies and these genera: Subfamily Antequerinae Hodges, 1978 Subfamily Chrysopeleiinae Mosher, 1916 Subfamily Cosmopteriginae Heinemann & Wocke, 1876 '' Adeana'' ''Allotalanta'' '' Anatrachyntis'' '' Anoncia'' '' Aphanosara'' '' Archisopha'' '' Ashibusa'' '' Axiarcha'' '' Clemmatista'' ''Coccidiphila'' ''Cosmopterix'' '' Diatonica'' '' Diversivalva'' '' Dorodoca'' '' Dromiaulis'' ''Ecballogonia'' ''Echinoscelis'' ''Endograptis'' ''Eralea'' ''Eteobalea'' '' Hodgesiel ...

	Hyposmocoma ''Hyposmocoma'' is a genus of moths with more 350 species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. The genus was first described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1881. Most species of ''Hyposmocoma'' have plant-based diets, but four species, such as '' Hyposmocoma molluscivora,'' eat snails. The caterpillars spin silk, which they then use to capture and eat snails. These are the first caterpillars known to eat snails (or mollusks of any kind). Some species are amphibious. This trait has evolved at least three times within this genus.
