Gelechioid-moths
Guides
Autosticha
Autosticha is a genus of small gelechioid moths in the family Autostichidae (sometimes placed in Oecophoridae). It is the type genus of the subfamily Autostichinae and family Autostichidae. The genus has a complex taxonomic history, with several formerly independent genera now synonymized under it, and some species historically assigned to unrelated gelechioid families such as Lecithoceridae and Xyloryctidae. The genus was originally described as Automola in 1886, but this name was preoccupied by a dipteran genus.
Cyphacma
Cyphacma is a genus of small moths in the family Oecophoridae, described by Edward Meyrick in 1915. The genus is poorly known, with limited published information on its constituent species and biology. It belongs to the subfamily Oecophorinae, a diverse group of concealer moths. Available records suggest it has a restricted distribution, primarily in the Australasian region. The genus has been subject to some taxonomic uncertainty, with iNaturalist currently placing it in Cosmopterigidae, though authoritative sources maintain Oecophoridae.
Ethmia hodgesella
Ethmia hodgesella is a small moth in the family Ethmiidae, described by Powell in 1973. The species occurs in the southwestern United States (Texas, Arizona, California) and extends along both sides of the central cordillera of Mexico. Adults have distinctive forewing patterning with a serpentine longitudinal line dividing whitish dorsal and dark brownish gray costal areas.
