Ellabella bayensis is a moth species in the family Copromorphidae, a small family of lepidopterans sometimes referred to as "fruitworm moths." The species is endemic to California, where it has been documented in coastal regions. Like other members of its family, it is presumed to be small and inconspicuous, with limited published information available regarding its biology.
Ellabella editha
Ellabella editha is a small moth in the family Copromorphidae, described by Busck in 1925. It is distributed across western North America from Canada to the southwestern United States. Adults are active from late spring through summer, with forewing lengths of 9.5–11 mm in males and 8–11.5 mm in females. The larval host plant remains uncertain, though Berberis repens has been suggested as a possible food source.
Lotisma
Lotisma is a genus of moths in the family Copromorphidae, established by August Busck in 1909.

Members of this genus belong to the superfamily Carposinoidea, a group of small moths often associated with fruit-feeding habits in related taxa.
