Oecophoridae Oecophoridae (concealer moths) is a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. The phylogeny and systematics of gelechoid moths are still not fully resolved, and the circumscription of the Oecophoridae is strongly affected by this. Also possibly included is the Peruvian species "Auxotricha ochrogypsa", described by Edward Meyrick in 1931 as the sole member of its genus. In the past, the family was circumscribed more widely and
Cooperia (plant) Cooperia (plant) Cooperia was a genus of tender herbaceous perennials native to South America and the southern reaches of North America. They were closely related to "Zephyranthes" and "Habranthus", all of which are members of the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae. All three genera were commonly known as rain lilies because of their propensity for blooming after rains. "Cooperia" blooms in summer and fall. Although "Cooperia" was considered distinguishable from the better known rain lily genus, "Zephyranthes", by its fragrance similar to primroses, its white or yellow pollen, its tolerance for drout and desert conditions (Howard 2001:54) and tendency to be night-blooming
