Schiffermuelleria

Synonyms: Acompsia; Chrysia; Disqueia; Disquela; Schiffermuellerina

Wikipedia Abstract

Schiffermuelleria is a genus of gelechioid moths. It is placed in the subfamily Oecophorinae of family Oecophoridae. The genus is treated as monotypic, with the single species Schiffermuelleria schaefferella placed here. As such, its distinctness from the closely related genus Borkhausenia – where S. schaefferella was often placed in the past – is open to debate. The caterpillars of this moth develop in rotting wood, on which they feed.
