Ogmograptis


Ogmograptis, the scribbly gum moths, is a genus in the family Bucculatricidae and was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1935, as a monotypic genus and that it was likely that these differing patterns were caused by different species of scribbly gum moths.

Taxonomy

In 2012, Horak et.al. published a new account of the genus, describing eleven new species of Ogmograptis, and distinguishing three groups, the scribula, maxdayi and triradiata groups.
The groupings of Ogmograptis given by Horak et.al. are shown below:
One species, Ogmograptis notosema Meyrick 1922, was unable to be assigned to a group as no holotype could be located.
In allocating these three groups to the genus Ogmograptis, Horak et. al. note that it is the scribula group which produces the
bark scribbles, and that the larval biology of the maxdayi and triradiata groups is not known.
