24.4. Agonoxeninae – palm moths

Minute to small (8–15 mm wingspan) moths with variously colored wings. Adults run rapidly and hold their wings tightly wrapped around the body when at rest. Larvae are borers, miners, and external feeders on various plants.

Ninety-five species of Agonoxeninae are known worldwide, seven from North America and three from AB. Th ere have been no recent revisions of North American Agonoxeninae, and the group is in need of taxonomic work. Illustrations of some species appeared in Hodges (1978), Covell (1984), Arnett (1993), and Pohl et al. (2005).
