''Sparganocosma'' is a genus of moths in the Tortricidae family. It contains only one species, ''Sparganocosma docsturnerorum'', which is found in north-western Costa Rica. The length of the forewings is 8.8–11 mm for males and 10.5–13 mm for females. The forewings have two large ovoid patches of pale buff in the costal region. These patches are infrequently separated by a narrow brown remnant of a median fascia. The patches usually have small flecks of brown. The remainder of the wing has a broad brown longitudinal band along the dorsum. The hindwings are rather uniformly dark grey brown. They are slightly darker in females. The larvae have been recorded feeding on ''Asplundia utilis'' and ''Asplundia microphylla''. They are pale translucent yellow-gold with a nearly uniformly amber head.〔(A food plant specialist in Sparganothini: A new genus and species from Costa Rica (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) )〕 ==Etymology== The genus name is derived from Latin ''spargano'' (meaning to scatter or throw around) and ''cosm'' (referring to the universe). The species is named in honour of Drs. John Turner and Nancy Turner, who psychologically and financially supported the Lepidoptera inventory of Área de Conservación in Costa Rica. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sparganocosma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
