Moved
Moved from Tischeria.
Moved to new genus as described by Terry Harrison. See info on the Tischeriidae page.

0171 - Astrotischeria [=Tischeria] omissa
.... figured out by Terry Harrison based on original description and locality. As a result of Terry's review of the taxonomic situation I became aware of a 2003 revision of the American Tischeriidae (two Hodges species were lumped, the family divided into three genera where before there was but one). What was Tischeria omissa is now Astrotischeria omissa. The checklist for this family at MPG will soon be updated to reflect the changes of 2003.

 
Thanks again, Bob

0173.99 - Tischeria spp. ....
....according to Terry Harrison, to whom I sent the photos. If you can sent me wider/taller photos from which I can obtain squares, I will try to further pursue an ID at the USNM.

 
Thanks Bob
When I get time I will re-crop these photos and some of the others as squares
