Barea melanodelta

Barea melanodelta OECOPHORINAE OECOPHORIDAE 

The only mention of larval food I could find is possibly dead wood,  under the bark of dead branches.
Wingspan about 20mm.




Family:- OECOPHORIDAE
Sub Family:- OECOPHORINAE
Genus:- Barea
Species:- melanodelta










**********************************************************************************
This posting is pretty much the last of the Oecophoridae moths. Although I have quite a few more photos, I have not been able to identify them so far.
Once I have gone through all the families, I will be able to go back over the unnamed moths and either find names, or put in a collection of unnamed photos.

Stathmopoda crocophanes STATHMOPODIDAE

This is another one of those moths that have been moved to a separate family.
I originally had it under sub family STATHMOPODINAE with the family as OECOPHORIDAE.
Some sites are still listing it as:-
Stathmopoda crocophanes STATHMOPODINAE OECOPHORIDAE
and:-  Stathmopoda crocophanes HELIODINIDAE
Larval food plant Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae).

This moth is in pretty poor condition, it has lost many of the scales on its wings. They are normally yellow with brown markings.



Family:- STATHMOPODIDAE
Sub Family:-
Genus:- Stathmopoda
Species:- crocophanes
