Abstract

The micromoth fauna of the arid environments of the western slopes of central Andes remains poorly explored. Plants native to this area host overlooked species. A survey for micromoth larvae on the Chilean endemicStevia philippianaHieron. (Asteraceae) was performed.The first records of plume moths (Lepidoptera, Pterophoridae) associated withS. philippianaare provided. Adults ofAdaina jobimiVargas, 2020 and a new species ofOidaematophorusWallengren, 1862 were reared from larvae collected on inflorescences and leaves, respectively.Oidaematophorus andresisp. n. is described and illustrated. A phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences clustered each of the two plume moths with the type species of its respective genus. These records expand the host plant range ofA. jobimiand add a second species ofOidaematophorusto the Chilean fauna of plume moths.
