''Stigmella kurilensis'' is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is only known from Hokkaido (Japan) and Kunashiri Island (southern Kurils). It does not resemble any other Nepticulid and its generic placement is therefore difficult to assess. Puplesis (1987, 1994) placed it in a separate monotypic species-group in ''Stigmella''. Double fasciae are rare in Nepticulidae, but occur frequently in the Asiatic species of ''Enteucha'' and in most ''Ectoedemia'' subgenus ''Etainia'' species. However, ''S. kurilensis'' does not share important apomorphic characters with these. The abdominal tufts are also remarkable. These kinds of tufts on segments other than 8 occur in most ''Trifurcula'' and in the ''Acalyptris repeteki'' group, however these genera belong to the ''Trifurculini'' tribe, and ''S. kurilensis'' does not share any of its apomorphies. Adults are on wing in early June and August. There are probably two generations per year. The host plant is unknown. ==External links== *(Redescription of Stigmella kudensis PupIesis (Lepidoptera, Nepticulidae), found on Hokkaido ) 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「Stigmella kurilensis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
