There have been no special studies on plume moths of Liberia until recently. In the World Catalogue of Insects (Gielis 2003) only two species are reported from Liberia: Agdistis tamaricis (Zeller, 1847) and Megalorhipida leucodactyla (Fabricius, 1794) despite its well-known richness for other Lepidoptera groups (Fox et al. 1965, Larsen 2005) and its biogeographic position in the centre of the Upper Guinean biodiversity hotspot (Myers et al. 2000).
直到最近,利比里亚才开始对羽蛾进行专门研究。在《世界昆虫名录》(吉利斯,2003年)中,利比里亚仅报告了两种羽蛾:细枝银斑蛾(泽勒,1847年)和白指大羽蛾(法布尔,1794年),尽管利比里亚以其他鳞翅目类群丰富而闻名(福克斯等人,1965年;拉森,2005年),且处于上几内亚生物多样性热点地区的中心位置(迈尔斯等人,2000年)。
