ABSTRACT
The extent of biological information on Glyphipterigidae is so limited and the percentage of species where the host plant is known is so low that little can be conclusively stated regarding general biological properties for the family. Most glyphipterigids apparently deposit eggs on plant surfaces or crevices, inasmuch as the typical ovipositor is setaceous and relatively unspecialized for piercing. Available information indicates that all glyphipterigids are diurnally active as adults. Typically, adults are found in close proximity to their larval host plant or on various flowers. Thus, when a greater proportion of the species become known biologically, host plant associations may prove to be more extensive among plant families. The eggs of Diploschizia habecki Heppner are pale white and rounded. The eggs of other glyphipterigids are unknown except for the British cocksfoot moth, Glyphipterix simpliciella, which has similar eggs.
