Crocogma
genus of insects
Crocogma is a genus of moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It contains the species Crocogma isocola, which is found in India (Assam).
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous, more or less irrorated fuscous, the costa and upper part of the termen suffused rather dark fuscous. The stigmata are blackish, with the discal large, the plical smaller, rather obliquely before the first discal. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous, with a deep ochreous-yellow streak of modified scales along the submedian fold.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Crocogma” is genus of insects. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Crocogma, genus and insects, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “genus of insects” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q13864010. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. 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.
