First report of Eriocottidae from Madagascar (Lepidoptera: Tineoidea)
Abstract
The genus Filiramifera gen.nov. is established to accommodate the first examined species of Eriocottidae from Madagascar, named as F. naumanni spec. nov. The new species differs from the remaining taxa of the family by the presence of unipectinate antennae and strongly spined abdominal terga of the male. The male genitalia, wing venation and the adult moth are illustrated.
