Gelechiidae Stainton 1854

Authors/Creators

Description

Family Gelechiidae

Nomenclature follows Becker (1984b).

Trichotaphe nessica (Walsingham, 1911)

Dichomeris nessica Walsingham: Mettam (1999)

Identified by comparison with the type (NHMUK, Panama), which is certainly very close, and probably conspecific. Tobago material is darker than Trinidad material, perhaps because it is fresher. Charlotteville, at light: ♀ 15–19 Jun 1998 (Roger Hammond & Piers Meynell)
