Gelechiinae

Yes it has taken this long to sort the Micro's out...still there are species to confirm but we are 98% there now and with 164 species I now provide a list of the Micro Moth's we caught during our 5 night stay at Las Descargues. Some really unusual moths, some commonly found in our Country and others considered as rare or possible migrants. Again species in red are completely new to me (And there were a few!)

Trip to Las Descargues 8th August - 18th August - Micro Moths Here is the second post containing all (or nearly all) of the Micro Moth species that I recorded on my 10 night stay to Las Descargues. The smaller moths were quite thin on the ground most nights and with lots of bigger bulkier moths crashing around in the traps it made it harder to actually pot them up and a few escaped at times! I still have a few for identification as always but so far the Micro Moth species list stands at 102 species. Species highlighted in red are completely new to me. All of the Macro and the Micro Moth species that I took photos of can now be viewed on my flickr page HERE Acleris variegana Acompsia cinerella Acompsia tripunctella Acrobasis advenella Acrobasis glaucella Acrobasis tumidana Adaina microdactyla Agapeta hamana Agapeta zoegana Agonopterix yeatiana Agriphila inquinatella Agriphila straminella Agriphila tristella Agrotera nemoralis Amblyptilia acanthdactyla Anania verbascalis Ancylolomia sp Antigastra catalaunalis Argyresthia bonnetella Argyresthia semitestacella Aroga velocalla Bactra lancealana Batia lambdella Batia lunaris Blastobasis glandulella Borkhausenia fuscescens Bryotropha basaltinella Bryotropha terrella Caloptilia alchimiella/robustella Caloptilia stigmatella Calybites phasianipennella Carcina quercana Carpatolechia decorella Catoptria falsella Catoptria pinella Celypha lacunana Celypha rivulana Celypha striana Chrysoteuchia culmella Clepsis rurinana Coleophora sp Coptotriche marginea Cosmiotes freyrella Crambus pascuella Cydalima perspectalis Cydia amplana Cynaeda dentalis Depressaria pulcherrimella Dialectica scalariella Dichomeris limosellus Dioryctria abietella Ectoedemia heringella Elachista canapennella Emmelina monodactyla Endothenia oblongana Endotricha flammealis Ephestia elutella Epinotia ramella Ethmia quadrillella Etiella zinckenella Eucosma conterminana Eudemis profundana Eudonia lacustrata Eudonia mercurella Euzophera pinguis Evergestis forficalis Homaloxestis briantiella Homoeosoma sinuella Khorassania compositella Lobesia botrana Metalampra italica Metendothenia atropunctana Monopis laevigella Monopis obviella Niphonympha dealbatella Nomophila noctuella Notocelia uddmanniana Oegoconia sp Oncocera semirubella Ostrinia nubilalis Oxyptilus ericetorum Palpita vitrealis Paraswammerdamia albicapitella Parornix sp Pediasia contaminella Phycitodes albatella Phycitodes binnaevella Phyllonorycter coryli Phyllonorycter harrisella Plutella xylostella Pyralis farinalis Pyrausta despicata Pyrausta purpuralis Pyroderces argyrogrammos Scrobipalpa acuminatella Scythropia crataegella Sitochroa palealis Stomopteryx detersella Synaphe punctalis Syncopacma ochrofasciella Syncopacma sangiella Udea ferrugalis
