dichomeris xerodes is a moth in the gelechiidae family .

it was described by walsingham in 1911 .

it is found in mexico ( tabasco ) .

the wingspan is about 14.5 mm .

the forewings are whitish ochreous , mottled and streaked with greyish fuscous and rich ferruginous .

there is a small greyish fuscous spot at the base of the costa , followed by one a little darker , separated from the margin by a paler shade of the same colour which follows the costa to nearly half the wing-length , where it is diffused downwards on the upper half of an outwardly curved pale central fascia .

before this central space a large greyish fuscous patch lies near the base of the dorsum , reaching above the fold and terminated at its upper edge by a rich ferruginous streak with bright ochreous streaks above it .

the pale central space is margined on its inner side by a diffused rich ferruginous patch , mixed with ochreous scales and crossing the fold and there is some similar colouring in a small spot below the costa and on the dorsum nearer to the base .

beyond the pale central space an irregular band of rich ferruginous throws out broken diverging lines of the same colour towards the apex and termen , alternating with greyish fuscous shading , which also marks the apex and termen , accumulating at the tornus .

the hindwings are tawny brownish .

the crinan ear ( amphipoea crinanensis ) is a moth of the noctuidae family .

it is found in fennoscandia , ireland , great britain , denmark , germany , the baltic region and central russia .

the wingspan is 30 – 33 mm.the ground colour of the forewings ranges from burnt sienna through to reddish brown . .

the reniform stigma is yellow or orange or occasionally white .

the orbicular stigma obscure .

the crosslines are darker than the ground colour .

the hindwings are brownish ochreous and have a small discal spot .

adults are on wing from august to september .

the larvae are thought to feed inside the stems of iris pseudacorus .

amphipoea crinanensis

large ear amphipoea lucens , saltern ear amphipoea fucosa paludis , crinan ear amphipoea crinanensis and ear moth amphipoea oculea cannot be reliably separated in the field . most are not determined to species and are recorded as ear moth agg . amphipoea oculea agg . those that have been determined as crinan ear amphipoea crinanensis are plotted here . an atlas with all records of amphipoea lucens / fucosa paludis / crinanensis / oculea is available to view here or via link under additional information .

similar species : large ear a . lucens which has a discal spot on the hindwing . the three ' ears ' amphipoea are extremely variable in size and wing pattern and certain identification requires examination of the genitalia .
similar species it is impossible to distinguish with surety from the large ear a . lucens , crinan ear a . crinanensis and saltern ear a . fucosa without dissection . the latter species has yet to be recorded in northern ireland but because of the difficulty in identification it may well occur .
a relatively small , cryptically marked nocturnal , moth flying in the autumn . it is very variable in color but generally orangey - brown with small , variably coloured , white , yellow , orange or red , ear - shaped markings on the forewings . it is impossible to distinguish with surety from the large ear a . lucens , crinan ear a . crinanensis and saltern ear a . fucosa without dissection . because of the problems with identification the true distribution of this species in northern ireland is largely unknown . confirmed records are from coastal dunes and heath but also from inland marginal bogs . this account therefore mainly deals with this difficult group .

records of caterpillar hostplants are scattered through published and manuscript sources worldwide and are difficult to retrieve . many rearing records are never published and so are not accessible to other entomologists . but collected hostplant records form a valuable scientific resource that can be used eventually to answer broader biological questions about how lepidoptera and plants interact ( eg , letourneau , hagen & robinson , 2001 ) . it provides information of immediate relevance to agriculture , ecology , forestry , conservation and taxonomy .
hosts brings together an enormous body of information on what the world ' s butterfly and moth ( lepidoptera ) caterpillars eat . the web - based version presented here offers a synoptic data set drawn from about 180 , 000 records comprising taxonomically ' cleaned ' hostplant data for about 22 , 000 lepidoptera species drawn from about 1600 published and manuscript sources . it is not ( and cannot be ) exhaustive , but it is probably the best and most comprehensive compilation of hostplant data available .
we hope that it will be useful to a wide range of biologists and that it will act as a spur to further recording and analysis of caterpillar - plant interactions .
hosts can be searched in two ways , using text search and drill - down search modes .
in text search mode , use either lepidoptera or hostplant criteria or a combination of the two . hosts operates only using scientific names . it is not possible to search for the hostplants of the red admiral butterfly but a search for hostplants using its scientific name , vanessa atalanta , will be successful . enter the generic name ( vanessa ) in the - lepidoptera criteria - genus box ; enter atalanta in the species : box ; click search .
hint : leave the ' starts with ' command as the default and in the species entry box omit the last few letters of the species - name ( eg , atalant ) . this will get around the problem of variable gender - endings . hosts uses original orthography of species - group names as far as possible , but some checklists follow the convention of altering the species - group name to accord with the presumed gender of the generic name ( eg flava , flavus ) .
restrict or refine searches using additional criteria ; choosing ' usa ' from the drop - down location box and entering [ starts with ] ' urt ' in the hostplant family box will return hostplant records of vanessa atalanta from urticaceae in the usa .
hint : restricting location may deliver a very incomplete subset of records : in the previous example all records specified as from the nearctic region ( usa + canada ) would be missed .
drill - down search mode allows the user to home in from the starting - point of either the lepidoptera or the plant family . choose a family group from the drop - down box and allow time for all genera of that family in the database to load to the genus drop - down box ; choose a genus and wait for the species to load . the search button can be pressed at any time , but the record delivery limit may be exceeded at higher taxonomic levels . drill - down search allows the user to see by scrolling all the taxa that are represented in the database . following the previous example , choose nymphalidae , then choose vanessa from the genus drop - down box and then atalanta from the ten possible species of vanessa included in hosts .
the preliminary search results pages give family , genus and species of the caterpillar and its hostplant . note that many hostplants are recorded as a plant genus only . clicking the caterpillar name will give the full record . the full record listing gives , additionally , the author of the lepidoptera species , subspecific information on the insect and the plant , if available , together with details of larval damage . laboratory rearings where the food utilised may not be the natural hostplant are indicated . the status of the record ( whether considered true , erroneous or suspect ) is not currently implemented in this version of hosts .
leguminosae ( c ) - caesalpinioideae . leguminosae ( m ) - mimosoideae . leguminosae ( p ) - papilionoideae .
all lepidoptera groups are covered and subspecific taxa are differentiated . the original source of the record , original form of the names used ( prior to taxonomic ' cleaning ' and standardisation of nomenclature ) and validation and verification fields are not included . this information is , however , retained in the databases used to generate this site . while we have included species that do not feed on green plants , the known food substrates of these are not listed exhaustively . such species comprise detritophages and predators and include , for example , most tineidae and the stored - products pests . the published compilations from hosts ( see more detail - publications from hosts ) include record status and the sources of all records .
detailed published compilations from hosts are available in press . these books give greater detail than the website , together with comprehensive cross - indexes , record status and full bibliographies . they are indispensable tools for naturalists and professional entomologists .

gaden robinson was responsible for the overall project design and management of the hosts database , and for records of lepidoptera exclusive of butterflies and bombycoid moths . phillip ackery and george beccaloni were responsible for butterfly data , including data drawn from card catalogues developed by ackery , whilst ian kitching was responsible for hostplant data of bombycoid moths . luis m . hernández was responsible for abstracting in the latter two years of the project and for development of the bibliography for the hardcopy versions of the data .
we are extremely grateful to the many people who contributed their own rearing records of lepidoptera or personal accumulations of data for inclusion in the hosts database , particularly mike bigger ( uk ) , john w . brown ( usa ) , chris conlan ( usa ) , rob ferber ( usa ) , konrad fiedler ( germany ) , jeremy holloway ( uk ) , frank hsu ( usa ) , jurie intachat ( malaysia ) , alec mcclay ( canada ) , bill palmer ( australia ) , pierre plauzoles ( usa ) and the generous individuals who contributed rearing records through the worldwideweb and who are known to us only as an email address .
we are particularly grateful to julian donahue and the los angeles county museum of natural history for allowing us to include data on microlepidoptera from the card catalogue prepared by the late j . a . comstock and c . henne , and for access to manuscript records by noel mcfarland .
marian fricano ( santa clara university ) and aileen giovanello ( clark university , international internship 1996 ) made substantial contributions of abstracted data ; fran love ( north carolina ) painstakingly checked scanned texts and reformatted them for import to paradox .
we are indebted to all our helpers for their diligence , accuracy and patience , and for their unswerving faith that this daunting project would reach a conclusion .
our colleagues here and overseas provided substantial help , advice and assistance with the checking of names of lepidoptera and with many other aspects of this project : kim and david goodger and jeremy holloway ( macrolepidoptera families ) , martin honey ( noctuoidea ) , brian pitkin ( computing ) , malcolm scoble and linda pitkin ( geometroidea ) , klaus sattler ( gelechioidea ) , michael shaffer ( pyraloidea , thyridoidea , pterophoroidea ) , alma solis ( usda , washington - pyraloidea ) , fernley symons ( oxford university - technical support ) and kevin tuck ( tortricoidea ) . julie harvey and the staff of the bmnh entomology and general libraries provided sterling support in locating obscure source material and intuitively correcting bowdlerized references .
we thank the trustees of the loke wan tho memorial foundation for their generous support for this project .

as soon as a replacement map service is available , distribution maps will hopefully appear here again .
in the meantime , you can get some idea of distribution from the nbn atlas website .

species are so alike that it is not usually reliable to distinguish them without referring to their genitalic structure .
because of this , the distributions are imperfectly known , but this species has a predominantly northern and western bias in britain .

description : wingspan 29 - 35 mm . forewings generally have a more mottled appearance . the colour ranges from burnt sienna through to reddish brown . reniform stigma usually yellow or orange or occasionally white . the orbicular stigma is not clearly defined . the crosslines are generally darker than the base colour . hind wings brownish ochreous with a small discal spot .
status : uncertain due to the difficulty in identification . the distribution map is not necessarily a true reflection of its distribution in n . ireland . since many of the records are not supported by voucher specimens their validity is doubtful . there have been confirmed records for aughinlig and loughgall , armagh and from ballykinler , down .
ecology : this species which is not necessarily restricted to coastal localities as some of the confirmed records indicate . adults are attracted to light and flowers particularly those of heather calluna vulgaris and common ragwort senecio jacobaea . according to skinner the larvae feed from may to july in the stems of yellow iris iris pseudacorus . it overwinters as an egg .
world distribution : in western europe it is less frequent than the other species in the genus . it is reported to be common and widespread on the danish mainland , southern sweden and parts of norway and southern finland .
nerc s . 41 : 2008 ( england ) & nerc s . 42 : 2009 ( wales ) -
viewed from side - the larva is olive green with a lateral intermittent black line through the spiracles . the line is formed by dashes where the black dash is darker on the abdominal segments and feint between the the dark dashes . viewed on top - a single black central lateral line is wider and only seems to break at the abdominal segments creases . larva is rarely encountered in the wild
the different ear moths are difficult to distinguish without dissection of the genatalia and this is not always a guarantee of identification so actual distributions of these moths are not certain , although , generally speaking , the ear moth distribution inland is southern britain , the large ear more prominent in the north and west of britain and the saltern ear more likely in coastal areas of england and some areas of scotland .
it is not difficult to see why these moths are called ear moths as the reniform stigmata which is yellow and ringed with ruddy brown looks just like the human ear .

click here to view an interactive map of the northern ireland dataset as currently collated by cedar . the map is generated through the nbn gateway using their interactive mapping tool .
it is a northern ireland priority species because of declines detected in other parts of the uk where it has undergone a 59 % decline over a 25 year period . there is no evidence as yet that the species has exhibited a similar decline in northern ireland but as we are part of the uk it has been included on the priority list
species description a member of the noctuidae and typical of the family it overlaps the wings tight to the body . the background colour varies from buff to dark brown but is most commonly rufous . there are a number of fine wavy black cross lines which create a faint net - like pattern . the most obvious feature is the vaguely ear shaped marking towards the wing tip which can vary in colour from white , yellow to orange / red .
life cycle the caterpillar feeds on various grasses and over - winters as an egg . adults are on the wing from late july through september .
how to see this species relatively easy to see at light and can be found with relative ease in dune systems along the coasts of counties down and londonderry . ear species can also be found using light on upland peatlands and lowland bogs , often in large numbers .
threats / causes of decline it is thought to be declining in the uk as a result of many factors , including habitat loss and change and the use of pesticides .
conservation of this species current action in northern ireland there are no specific actions proposed for this species . the “ear species” are best protected through maintenance of good quality habitats especially dune systems and peatlands .

the four species are very similar and similarly variable . where they occur together they cannot be reliably separated without genital examination . not all specimens of

the long arm of the harpe extends to or beyond the ventral angle of the cucullus and the short arm is narrow and curved . in
the long arm of the harpe doesn ' t reach the ventral angle of the cucullus and the short arm is broad and stumpy . in both species there two rows of cucullar spines ; one row runs from the dorsal angle of the cucullus along the margin of the cucullus , the other from the ventral angle of the cucullus across the face of the cucullus . in
they do not . some specimens are intermediate and indeterminate . mbgbi10 & waring & townsend suggest that hybridisation occurs in w . scotland ( see my specimens from skye ) .
the arms are dorsal and lateral according to dsg ; although the shorter arm is dorsal , the longer arm may be better described as ventral .
, the length of the ventral arm ( at least ) seems somewhat variable and the dorsal arm may be clearly shorter . the dorsal arm also appears shorter than it is ( relative to the ventral arm ) in photos , because it is set at an angle with the plane of the valva ( ie it is foreshortened ) . there is also some problem in determining the exact origin of the dorsal and ventral arms in order to assess whether one is longer than the other .
female genitalia : a . fucosa / a . lucens : posterior margin of ostium bursae with rounded lobes separated by a shallow rounded notch * a . oculea : posterior margin of ostium forms a shallow v a . crinanesis : posterior margin of ostium deeply cleft  * dsg & dg separate these on fairly subtle features of the anal papillae and the junction of the ductus and corpus bursae . both species show a lateral indentation towards the anterior end of the anal papillae , this depression is deeper in a . fucosa . both species show 2 prominences at the junction of the ductus and corpus bursae , one on the right and the slightly more anteriorly on the left . dsg indicates a difference in the right sided prominence ( referring to it as the ' basal prominence ' or ' shoulder ' ) and states that in a . fucosa it is slightly larger . dg indicates a difference in the left sided prominence ( referring to it as the ' shoulder ' ) suggesting that in a . lucens it is larger . the same image is used for a . lucens in both references , but they use different images for a . fucosa . while at dg the left sided prominence is clearly larger in a . lucens , in the images at dsg the left sided prominence is larger in a . fucosa . i conclude ( pending evidence from further material ) that the proposed difference in the left sided prominence is completely unreliable and that the difference in the right sided prominence is too marginal to be useful . i have not yet examined any specimens of a . lucens myself ( assuming the a . fucosa specimen is correctly identified , and i have some doubt about that ) .
