Prodoxidae
The Prodoxidae are a family of moths, generally small in size and nondescript in appearance. They include species of moderate pest status, such as the Lampronia capitella, currant shoot borer, and others of considerable ecological and evolutionary interest, such as various species of "yucca moths". Description and affinities Prodoxidae are a family of primitive monotrysian Lepidoptera. Some of these small-to-medium-sized moths are day flying, like ''Lampronia capitella'', known to European gardeners as the currant shoot borer. Others occur in Africa and Asia. The other common genera are generally confined to dry areas of the United States. ''Tetragma gei'' feeds on mountain avens (''Geum triflorum'') in the US. ''Greya politella'' lay eggs in the flowers of Saxifragaceae there. ''Prodoxoides asymmetra'' occurs in Chile and Argentina, but all other prodoxid moth genera have a northern distribution. The enigmatic genus ''Tridentaforma'' is sometimes placed here and assumed to be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Prodoxoides Asymmetra
''Prodoxoides asymmetra'' is a moth of the family (biology), family Prodoxidae. It is found in the Valdivian temperate rain forest and humid ''Nothofagus''-Chusqua forest along the border of Chile (Osorno Province) and Argentina (Río Negro Province). It is the only known Prodoxidae species in the Southern Hemisphere. The wingspan is 9–13 mm. The forewings have different shades of pale to medium brown with a golden lustre. The larvae probably feed on ''Myrceugenella apicaulata''. It is thought the larvae bore inside the buds or twigs of their host plant.
