''Palaeomystella tavaresi'' is a moth of the Agonoxenidae family. It is found in the Atlantic Forest at the Serra Bonita Reserve in Brazil. The length of the forewings is 7.02-9.23 mm. The forewings are covered by brown scales dorsally, intermixed with dark-brown scales tipped with black, and pale-brown scales. There is a narrow, ill-defined, dark-brown streak which bisects the wing longitudinally from the base to a brown, subapical, crescentic marking, edged distally with dark-grey scales. The hindwings are covered with light brown scales on both sides. The larvae feed on ''Tibouchina fissinervia''. They create a gall on their host plant. ==Gallery== File:Palaeomystella tavaresi head and thorax.jpg|Head and thorax File:Palaeomystella tavaresi last instar larva.jpg|Last instar larva File:Palaeomystella tavaresi pupa.jpg|Pupa File:Palaeomystella tavaresi gall on Tibouchina fissinervia; H dissected gall; I internal chamber.jpg|Gall on Tibouchina fissinervia; H dissected gall; I internal chamber 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「Palaeomystella tavaresi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
