Bucculatricidae
Encyclopedia
Bucculatricidae or is a family of moth
s. This small family has representatives in all parts of the world. Some authors place the group as a subfamily of the family Lyonetiidae
.
Adults of this family are easily overlooked, being very small with narrow wings wrapped around the body at rest. When small, the larva
e are leaf-miners, forming distinctive brown blotches on leaves. When larger, they usually feed on the leaves externally. Many species have specific host plants. The pupa
l cases have distinctive longitudinal ridges, leading to members of the family commonly being called ribbed cocoon makers.
Most authors recognize just a single large genus, Bucculatrix, although two Australia
n species, Cryphioxena notosema
and the Scribbly Gum Moth, Ogmograptis scribula are sometimes placed in this family rather than in Elachistidae
