'''''Neopalpa donaldtrumpi''''' is a [[moth]] species of the genus ''[[Neopalpa]]'' occurring in [[Southern California]] and [[Northern Mexico]]. It was first described by Canadian scientist Vazrick Nazari in January 2017. He chose the name because the moth's head cover reminded him of the hair of [[Donald Trump]] and he hoped that the name might create some publicity for underappreciated small animals.
'''Kiwavi''' ni hali ya [[metamofosisi]] ya [[mdudu]] wa oda ya [[Lepidoptera]] (wadudu kama [[kipepeo|vipepeo]] na [[nondo]]).
==Discovery==
Kwa kawaida hula majani. Wakitokea kwa wingi, k.m. viwavijeshi, wanaweza kuharibu mimea na hasa mashamba.

The genus ''Neopalpa'' including the species ''Neopalpa neonata'' was first described in 1998 by Dalibor Povolný.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Povolný |first=Dalibor |date= |title=Neopalpa gen. n. and Eurysaccoides gen. n. — two new genera of the tribe Gnorimoschemini from California, with the description of three new species (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) |journal=Revista de Lepidopterología |publisher=Sociedad Hispano-Luso-Americana de Lepidopterología |volume=26 |pages=139–146}}</ref> Almost two decades later, Vazrick Nazari reviewed the material, including various specimens that had been collected since the first description of the genus, from the [[Bohart Museum of Entomology|Bohart Entomology Museum]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Fitch |first=Chris |date=2017-01-18 |title=Meet the Trump moth |url=http://geographical.co.uk/nature/wildlife/item/2099-meet-the-trump-moth |newspaper=Geographical |publisher=Royal Geographical Society |access-date=2017-01-20}}</ref> He discovered that some of the specimens actually formed a separate new species, which he called ''Neopalpa donaldtrumpi'' due to the yellowish-white color of the scales on the top of its head, which reminded him of Donald Trump's hairstyle.<ref name="Nazari"/> He also hoped that the name might provide more publicity to often underappreciated small and rare creatures.<ref name="Nazari">{{cite journal|doi=10.3897/zookeys.646.11411|title=Review of Neopalpa Povolný, 1998 with description of a new species from California and Baja California, Mexico (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae)|journal=ZooKeys|volume=646|pages=79|year=2017|last1=Nazari|first1=Vazrick}}</ref><ref name=spiegel>[http://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/natur/motte-neopalpa-donaldtrumpi-traegt-namen-von-donald-trump-a-1130502.html "''Neopalpa donaldtrumpi'' Motte trägt nun Namen von Donald Trump"].

Jinsi ilivyo kwa wadudu wengi maisha ya kiwavi hunanza kama [[yai]]. Inatoka kwa umbo la [[kiwavi]]. Baada ya muda kiwavi huwa [[bundo]]. Ndani ya bundo hugeuka kuwa kipepeo anayetoka na kutaga mayai tena. Mzunguko huu kwa jumla ni metamofosisi.
==Description==
The body of the moth is between seven and and 11 millimeters in length and the spread of its [[Insect wing|forewings]] is between 6 and 9.2 millimeters. The upper surface of the forewings shows a dark brown costal region with sparse, lighter speckles, the [[Anatomical_terms_of_location#Dorsal_and_ventral|dorsal]] region and discal [[fascia]] are orange yellow to pale buff, the sinuous margin has two or three scallops. The apical area and the fringes are dark brown heavily mottled with lighter suffusion. [[Insect wing|Hindwings]] are pale buff, unmarked and with slightly darker fringe. Its [[Antenna (biology)|antenna]] is about two-thirds of its wingspan and its head is covered with yellowish white scales, which inspired the moth's name.<ref name="Nazari"/><ref name=spiegel/> In addition to the head scales, the most conspicuous difference between ''N. donaldtrumpi'' and the other species in the genus, ''[[Neopalpa neonata|N. neonata]]'', is the structure of both male and female genitalia. They can also be distinguished via DNA.<ref name="Nazari"></ref>

==Distribution==
While the closely related ''Neopalpa neonata'' occurs throughout much of California, [[Baja California]] and Northwest [[Mexico]], ''Neopalpa donaldtrumpi'' so far has only been established for the Northern half of Baja California and [[Riverside County, California|Riverside]] and [[Imperial County, California|Imperial]] counties in [[Southern California]].<ref name="Nazari"/>
