Gelechia ribesella
Gelechia ribesella is a small moth in the family Gelechiidae (twirler moths), described by V.T. Chambers in 1875. It is recorded from western North America including California, Oregon, Colorado, British Columbia, and Mexico. Like other gelechiids, it is a small moth with larvae that likely feed on plant material, though specific host associations remain poorly documented. The species is rarely encountered in literature and its biology is largely unknown.
Glauce
Glauce is a genus of small moths in the family Gelechiidae, first described by Chambers in 1875. The genus belongs to the tribe Litini within the subfamily Gelechiinae. These moths are part of the diverse microlepidopteran fauna, though individual species within the genus remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
Glauce pectenalaeella
Glauce pectenalaeella is a small moth in the family Gelechiidae. It is the sole species in the genus Glauce. The species is found across eastern and central North America, with records from Canada (Quebec) and multiple U.S. states. The forewings are characterized by dense dark dusting that largely obscures the pale yellowish ground color.
