Thiotricha
Thiotricha is a large, morphologically diverse genus of gelechiid moths in the subfamily Thiotrichinae. The genus is mainly concentrated in the Old World, with particularly high diversity in China where over 100 species have been documented. Species are distinguished by genital morphology and external characters, with Chinese taxa organized into four species groups based on morphology and molecular data. Larvae of studied species construct portable cases and feed on flowers, seeds, or leaves of various host plants.
