Heterobathmia
Heterobathmia is a genus of Lepidoptera. It is the only genus in the suborder Heterobathmiina, as well as the superfamily Heterobathmioidea and the family Heterobathmiidae. Primitive, day-flying, metallic moths, confined to southern South America, the adults eat the pollen of Nothofagus or southern beech and the larvae mine the leaves (Kristensen, 1983, 1999). Most known species are undescribed (but see Kristensen and Nielsen, 1978, 1998).
