''Epicephala camurella'' is a moth of the Gracillariidae family. It is found in China (Hainan). The length of the forewings is 7−10 mm. The forewings are greyish brown to brown, sometimes tinged with ochreous scales and with three pairs of white striae from both the costal and dorsal margins at one-third, three-fifths and four-fifths, extending obliquely outward to the middle and end of the cell as well as to outside of the cell. The second dorsal stria is longest and extends to six-seventh. The dorsal margin has a broad white band from the base to the tornus and there is a silvery-white fascia with metallic reflection from the costal six-seventh to the dorsal margin, nearly straight. The distal one-seventh is ochreous, with a central black dot, with a white dot at the costa and a broad white streak along the dorsal margin. The hindwing are grey. The larvae feed on seeds in the fruits of ''Glochidion sphaerogynum'' and ''Glochidion wrightii''. ==Etymology== The species name refers to the lamella antevaginalis being a pair of sclerotized and curved carinae in the female genitalia and is derived from Latin ''camur'' (meaning curved) and the postfix -''ella''.〔(Four new species of Epicephala Meyrick, 1880 (Lepidoptera, Gracillariidae) associated with two species of Glochidion (Phyllanthaceae) from Hainan Island in China )〕 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「Epicephala camurella」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
