Adaina simplicius
''Adaina simplicius'' is a moth of the Pterophoridae family. It is found in North America (including Mississippi〔(Mississippi Plume Moths From The Bryant Mather Collection (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae) )〕 and Florida), Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Paraguay and Puerto Rico. It was introduced to South Africa for study as a biological control agent for ''Eupatorium macrocephalum''.
The wingspan is about 10 mm. The head is pale yellowish, tinged with brownish especially on the vertex. The thorax is pale straw-yellow. The forewings are very pale straw-yellow, the costa with a few brown scales, a small patch of similarly colored scales on the costa beyond the incision and another near the center of the wing at the incision. A few more brown scales are found on the inner edge of both lobes near the apex. The hindwings are smoky.〔(Insects of Florida )〕
The larvae feed on various composites, including ''Carphephorus odoratissimus'', ''Carphephorus paniculatus'', ''Conoclinium coelestinum'' and ''Pluchea odorata''.〔(Neotropical species of the family Pterophoridae, part II. Zool. Med. Leiden 85 (2011) )〕 Larvae induce the formation of stem galls on their host plant, feeding and pupating within the galls.〔(Adaina primulacea Meyrick, 1929: A Gall-Inducing Plume Moth of Siam Weed from South Florida and The Neotropics (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae) )〕
