A taxonomic review of the genus Frisilia Walker (Lepidoptera: Lecithoceridae), with description of two new species Author Park, Kyu-Tek Author Wu, Chunseng Author Kun, Andras Author Sohn, And Jae-Cheon text Zootaxa 2008 1696 1 24 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.180724 1e95ef12-160a-4414-b49c-9fbdeaac4dc6 1175-5326 180724 5. Frisilia forficatella Park, 2005 Tinea 18: 56. TL: Thailand , Loei. [OPU, Japan ]. Diagnosis.
