Pompographa
genus of insects
Pompographa is a genus of moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It contains the species Pompographa philosopha, which is native in India (Assam).
The wingspan reaches a length of about 13–15 mm. The forewings are rather dark fuscous with an irregularly triangular blotch of dark fuscous suffusion on the dorsum before the middle, reaching more than half across the wing. The costa is suffused with dark fuscous from one-third to the apex. A small whitish spot on the middle of the costa was found beneath, a patch of whitish irroration. There are two small blackish spots edged with a few whitish scales in the transverse side of the disc at three-fifths. An indistinct bi-sinuate whitish line is at four-fifths, sharply marked towards the costa. There is also a black terminal line. The hindwings are grey.

Why this record matters
“Pompographa” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Pompographa, genus and insects provides the most credible route into that argument.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18522868. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
