''Carposina eriphylla'' is a moth of the Carposinidae family. It is endemic to New Zealand. The wingspan is about 26 mm. The head and thorax are whitish-greenish and the shoulders olive-greenish. The palpi are whitish-greenish and the antennae are greyish-ochreous. The abdomen is pale whitish-ochreous and the legs dark fuscous. The forewings are elongate, posteriorly slightly dilated, the costa gently arched, the apex obtuse and the hindmargin straight. They are pale greenish, irregularly irrorated with white, especially towards the hindmargin. There are about eight small black spots on the costa. The hindwings and cilia are whitish. The larvae are thought to facilitate the development of rot in beech trees by keeping wounds open to the air. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carposina eriphylla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
