:''The plant genus ''Crossophora'' is a synonym of ''Chrozophora''. The grass moth genus ''Crossophora'', invalidly described by H.B. Möschler in 1890, refers to ''Microthyris. ''Crossophora'' is a genus of gelechioid moths from eastern Australia. It belongs to the family Oecophoridae, and therein to subfamily Oecophorinae. As regards described species, it is monotypic. But at least one undescribed species is known to exist:〔ABRS (2008)〕 * ''Crossophora semiota'' Meyrick, 1886 * ''Crossophora'' sp. 'Queensland-Victoria' Several related species were placed here too; indeed, the type species was only described after the genus had been established. All other supposed ''Crossophora'' were subsequently moved to other genera, but ''C. semiota'' was considered to be too distinct to be incorporated elsewhere. The genus name is valid because it was published as part of a single-access key, and because the description of ''C. semiota'' was accompanied by a full description of the genus.〔 The caterpillars of these moths feed on dead leaves of ''Eucalyptus'', which they spin together with silk.〔 ==Footnotes== 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「Crossophora」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
