Oiketicinae

Guides

  • Eucoloneura fragilis

    Eucoloneura fragilis is a small bagworm moth species in the family Psychidae, described by Barnes and McDunnough in 1916. The species belongs to the subfamily Oiketicinae, which includes case-making moths whose larvae construct portable protective cases from silk and plant material. Very few observations of this species have been recorded, with only six documented occurrences in citizen science databases. The specific epithet 'fragilis' suggests delicate or fragile characteristics, though the precise basis for this name is not documented in available sources.

  • Hyaloscotes

    Hyaloscotes is a genus of bagworm moths in the family Psychidae, described by Butler in 1881. As members of the subfamily Oiketicinae, these moths are characterized by the construction of portable larval cases from silk and environmental materials. The genus is poorly documented in scientific literature, with limited species-level descriptions and biological data available. Observations on iNaturalist suggest ongoing but infrequent documentation of these insects.

  • Hyaloscotes pithopoera

    Hyaloscotes pithopoera is a species of bagworm moth in the family Psychidae, described by Dyar in 1923. The species belongs to the subfamily Oiketicinae, whose larvae construct portable cases from silk and environmental materials. As with other Psychidae, adult males are winged while females are typically wingless and remain within their larval cases. The genus Hyaloscotes is relatively small and poorly documented in the literature.
