dc:description"Figure 17. Phenology for Epidesmiinae moths, summarizing the number of flight time records per month (42 species, nine genera).The most records are from the Southern Hemisphere summer months, highest numbers being between October and January. The adult records in many species occur within 2–4-month periods, indicating these may have only one generation per year. Abraxaphantes perampla has been taken in Thailand in March–April, but there is a single record in July.";
