1992 M. J. Scoble Lepiedoptera ix. 238 Included in the Argyresthia group is the Australian species Ogmograptus scribula (the scribbly gum moth), the larva of which is responsible for long scribble-like mines in the bark of some species of Eucalyptus.

2012 Canberra Times (Nexis) 28 May a4 There isn't just one species of scribbly gum moth (Ogmograptis scribula), as previously thought, but at least 11 new species and possibly even more awaiting discovery.
