Apomyelois Cognata
''Apomyelois cognata'' is a species of snout moth in the genus ''Apomyelois''. It was described by Staudinger in 1871, originally in genus '' Myelois''. Distribution The species is known to occur in Russia. An old and unconfirmed record exists for Cyprus. ''Apomyelois schaeuffelella'', described in 1959 by Hans Georg Amsel and considered a junior synonym of ''Apomyelois cognata'', was described from Iran. Description Adults of the species resemble those of '' Apomyelois bistriatella'', but are larger, have broader forewings of which the markings are more contrasting than in ''A. bistriatella'', and show some genital differences. The wing pattern and colouring is slightly variable. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan ... is 20–23 mm. References ...

Locust Bean Moth
''Ectomyelois ceratoniae'', the locust bean moth, more ambiguously known as "carob moth (other), carob moth", is a moth of the family Pyralidae. It has a nearly cosmopolitan distribution. Adults have forewings with a pale brown pattern, and plain white hindwings. The female moths find suitable fruit or nuts on which to lay their eggs using volatile substances emitted by fungus which is infecting the material. The larvae are translucent white, with the internal organs visible from the outside. They feed on the seeds and pods of a wide range of plants, including ''Punica granatum'', ''Citrus'' fruit, ''Pistacia vera'', ''Juglans regia'', ''Prunus dulcis'', ''Macadamia integrifolia'', ''Acacia farnesiana'', ''Caesalpinia sappan'', ''Cassia bicapsularis'', ''Ricinus'', ''Erythrina monosperma'', ''Haematoxylum campechianum'', ''Prosopis juliflora'', ''Samanea saman'', ''Phoenix dactylifera'', and ''Ceratonia siliqua''.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should c ...

Moths
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995.

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opi ...
