Extract
The name Platyedra scutigera is proposed for a cotton insect of Queensland, previously reported as P. gossypiella. Its larval and pupal stages are described and notes on its bionomics and distribution are given.
There are at least four distinct species of Platyedra in Australia, P. gossypiella in West Australia and the Northern Territory, the other three in Queensland, one of which is the cotton pest, P. scutigera, the remaining two feeding on native Malvaceae.
