What is "eratophyes"

Eratophyes is a genus of moths in the Oecophoridae family. It contains only one species, Eratophyes amasiella, which is found in Asia Minor, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. It was first recorded in Belgium in 2004. The species was probably accidentally introduced in western Europe, most likely as a caterpillar or pupa, with logs.

The wingspan is 12.5–16 mm. Adults are on wing from late April to June.

The larvae feed on decaying birch logs.
