Taxonomy
Superfamily: Tineoidea Family: TineidaeSubfamily: MeessiinaeTribe: [Meessiini]P3 Number: 0.00 MONA Number: 295.01
Comments: Homosetia is a genus with 12 currently described species and several undescribed species that are found in eastern North America. Homosetia bifasciella is a member of a complex of externally-similar species that all have gray forewings with small patches of dark-yellow scaling and blackish tufts of raised scales at about one fifth, one half, and four fifths of the wing length from the base, with some or all of the tufts lying within a diffuse dark fascia that extends the entire breadth of the forewing. The tufts are often missing from wear and may be indiscernible in some specimens. Terry Harrison (microleps.org) has discovered at least five undescribed species in this complex that occur in Illinois, and that are likely found farther east, including in North Carolina. These forms are best identified based on genital morphology. Other specimens of have been found that do not fully conform to the descriptions of named species, which suggests that additional undescribed species may be present in the eastern US. Many of the specimens below do not readily fit the named species.
